They didn't. Condoms have been around for a long while (couple hundred years, actually). Before that, various 'folk' remedies were used to terminate or avoid pregnancy, many of which unfortunately were more injurious to the woman than to any fetus. Through the centuries, people believed in various spells, incantations and other rot that they trusted to prevent pregnancies. None really worked.

If you are on constant birth control and doesn't have periods for a few months at a time can it cause pregnancy symptoms?

You can have pregnancy symptoms before your period starts. People mistaken it for pregnancy a lot. They start to freak out and get stressed out and delay their period even more. Since you haven't had it in a few months, I would take a pregnancy test just to make sure you're not pregnant. And hope that once you confirm that you're not pregnant, you period will come.
