Help? My period is late.....

Hi all - I posted here awhile back, about using VCF for bc. Well, here's my problem, I was on depo last year, then went back on desogen in march, in April & May my periods were right on time and normal. After my last pack in May I started using VCF. Since the 3rd week of May, I have NOT gotten AF. About 3 weeks ago I had some weird, pinching cramps on the left side of my abdomen. Almost like period cramps, but a little more painful then before, but NO AF. I took a hpt, and it came back negative. I called my DR, and they told me to "wait it out through July" and if I didn't get my period to call them in August. They also said, that I "should be regular by now" This is a little unsettling for me, cause if I am pregnant, I would want to know 100% and start prenatal care. Are blood tests more accurate then hpt? I haven't really had common pregnancy "symptoms" but my stomach is upset all the time now after I eat, and my lower back hurts all the time. ??? Any advice?? Thanks in advance. :)

So am I reading you right that you're no longer on the pill and just using VCF as protection?

Thanks - I think it might be from me stopping the depo that my system is out of whack. I've stopped taking bc pills before, and my periods were normal and right on time. ?? So I don't know. I guess i'll wait out thru July and see what my Dr tells me in August. :)
