I don't know your statistical chances, but sore, tender breasts are often an early sign of pregnancy, and so is fatigue.  I'd suggest a home pregnancy test.  You will want to check with the doctor whatever result the test shows.  It might just be the fluctuation of hormones as you come of the patch, but you want to be sure, and if you are pregnant, you want to start prenatal care right away.
