BCP question

He, everyone. I needed some advice about BCP and pregnancy...but I hope I didn;t already post here.. :)

I've been on the generic for Loestra FE for 4 years. I've had sex several times over the past few weeks, since my fiance was visiting from out of town (he's in his last sememster away at college). We don't use condoms, since we are both committed and I am on the pill. The question? My breasts are unusually swollen a week before my period is due to start. I've been worrying myself sick that I may be pregnant, since this usually does not happen. I faithfuly take my pills daily, within a 1-2 hour period from the day before (8:30 - 10:30), so I definately have not missed any. I took a pregnancy test this morning to be safe, although my period is not scheduled to arrive for another week. It was negative. Should I worry about being pregnant, or can someone please ease my nerves?

THANKS, SIDDY
