Ovulated on the pill

I'm pretty sure I ovulated on the last day of pills, July 18 (one day before I started placebo pills), which was 4 days before I would get my period, July 21. When my "period" came it about half a day early (it has been like clockwork, even with exact time, since I've been on the pill). Also, it was VERY light; it only lasted about a day and a half. The whole thing probably would have only filled about a 1/5 of a tampon, if that.
For about a week now I have felt a little queazy and think I'm peeing more, but am not experiencing breast tenderness.
I did have sex during this time. And right now I can't remember if I was late taking a pill during the week before all this. Though I'm sure if I did I was not more than 1 day late and according to the "directions" only needed it when I remembered and then take the next at normal time. Is it possible that I could be pregnant?
Thanks for you help :-)

Anything is possible, but i would say your chances are fairly slim, especially because you remember to take your pills everyday, and that fact that you've been taking them for six years. Have you been traveling recently, or taking an new meds?
You should probably take an HPT to know for sure. good luck
Thanks again
i'm not sure why, but traveling can affect your cycle. I had a friend who traveled quite a bit for a semester in college, and she didn't get her period that whole time. i think a lot of it might be the stress of traveling, etc.
Regarding the test time-frame, if you'd be 14 days past your O date, an HPT should give you an accurate result. i'd go take a test just to be sure (and ease your mind a bit). if it's ----, and you don't get AF next month, i'd consult your doctor.
Good luck--let us know how things turn out!

Anyway, I'm not going to stress about it, but I really do hope that's not what happened. Although unplanned, if the egg was fertilized I wouldn't want it to die.
Thanks for your help, and the info about traveling. I'll keep that in mind. :-)
