Is is possible?

Until this morning, I didn't really consider being pregnant an option... I thought I had my period, but now I'm not so sure. I've been switching around my birth control as well so that just leads to more confusion...
Four weeks ago I started a new pill because the last pill I was on made me miserable, I spotted for four months before I gave up on it and began to try something new. I took the new pill for two weeks (on time, never missed one) but it was making me seriously nauseous (I wouldn't throw up, but I felt sick each day until about 5pm) and I spotting, again, so I stopped taking it. Around the same time I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend (which would be my most fertile time if I wasn't on birth control). I thought that I would be fine because I had been taking it regularly for two weeks and I was under the assumption that after two weeks I would be protected. Anyways, we had unprotected sex that one time, and then after that we've been using condoms (and haven't had any problems - none of them broke or anything). After a week of not taking the pills, I got what I thought was my period. It was about as heavy as normal and lasted about 5 days. It was weird, however, because I wasn't supposed to be getting my period for another week. Was it possible that it wasn't really a period, but just my body's reaction to stopping the pill? Now it's week week four since I started the new pill (but I haven't been taking it for the last two months) and I had a little light cramping this morning and just a little bit of blood (I only noticed it when I wiped). Is it possible that it is implantation bleeding and what I had last week was just bleeding and not a "true" period, just my body's reaction to stopping the pill?
A couple of other things that are strange are that I've been urinating A LOT recently and I haven't been taking in any more fluids... Also, my breasts have been sore even though I stopped taking the pill. Usually when I stop taking the pill the breast tenderness stops within a couple days, but it's been two weeks and they're STILL sore...
So what's the verdict, I know that there is always the possibility for pregnancy, but how likely is it?
Is it soon enough to test?

So it's safe to assume the "period" was in fact a period and that the likelihood of me being pregnant is pretty slim? I haven't had unprotected sex since then...
I would test now, but I'm out of the country right now on vacation so it's not really an option for the next couple of days.. the wait is killing me! I would like to go out and have a couple drinks with friends, but if there is a chance of me being pregnant I don't want to chance it!
I'd still wait to test to rule it out.
