7 days late, Neg HPT...

My last period was Aug. 28. I took a test on Sunday night (yeah, not first morning's urine, I know...) and it was negative. Too early to be testing, or what else might be going on? My ovulation day would have been around Sept. 12 so implantation would have been, when? Sept. 15 or 16?

I've had cramps on & off since last Wednesday, Sept. 27, and I've also had a really bad lower backache since then too. It's right across my tailbone and feels like burning. Every day it's been starting earlier -- Wed. though Fri., it started late; on Sat.it started at 5, on Sunday at 2, on Monday at noon and it was killing me by 10am today. Also, I've been having these non-cramp things that feel like the stitch in your side you get when you drink too much water while running (not in uterus, more like just general abdomen area). My hips have been hurting as well -- ligaments? I've never "felt" ligaments in my hips before but that's what it feels like.

I switched to a new brand of BCP this month and so I'm assuming that might have something to do with this... either with it screwing up my cycle or simply not working. Also, I started taking Wellbutrin around Aug. 13 but I stopped maybe a month later (I had horrible insomnia, and I feel better anyway, even now without taking it) so I don't know if that may have an effect in causing me to be so late. The new brand is Loestrin; before that I was taking Ortho Tricyclen Lo.

I had two days of spotting from Friday to Saturday of old (black) blood. We had sex Sunday and it hurt, but we weren't doing anyhing that should have hurt. (I mean, the point of it is to feel good, right? ;-) Afterward there was a small smear of pink liquid but no actual blood. I also was bleeding old blood mid-month, which I assume was caused by the Loestrin? Or possibly implantation.

But it's been so long since I had my period that I was supposed to start taking the NEW pack of pills on Saturday (Sept. 30). I didn't, since then I definitely wouldn't get my period. I think I will go to the doctor the end of this week if I haven't gotten it by then, but does anyone have any insight? Does this sound like preggers or is it just BCP madness?

It's hard to say.
