The Pill, Pregnancy & complete confusion

I was recenly switched from Alesse (3.5 years on it) to Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo ( for 1 week due to lack of Alesse in Canada) to Yasmine ( I was having severe cramping due to Ortho-Tri-Cyclen lo..thus switched and have been on Yasmine 1 week so far). However for about a week and a half (once I started on Ortho Tri-Cyclen LO) my breasts have been tender around the armpits and I feel a lump on my right one and I have pretty constant light cramping and an ache in my lower back and abdomen. My boyfriend and I used a condom during my switching weeks, but it had slipped off. I had bleeding (brownish to redish) the week I switched to Ortho Tri-Cyclen lo and none when I switched to Yasmine, I've also lost 4 pounds in the week I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo. Could I be pregnant? What should I do? Was the bleeding "break through bleeding"? I'm really stressing and really needing an answer...Thank you.
From the complete scared one.

Hi confused_kaitie, welcome!

Thank you very much for all of your replies, they are very helpful and actually helping me calm down a little too...not so stressed.
One more question: The whole peeing more frequently, I tend to have to go to the washroom more often but mostly at night...? Could horomones be doing it too? I do drink a lot of water but still?
If frequent urination started about the time you switched to Yasmin, then your pill is

Wow.
Now that I think about it, it did...
Clears so much up.
Thank you so much.
