Break trough bleeding and cramping?

I have been on birth control for five years and the same brand for three years and have not had any problems until now. I ended my last period two weeks ago which is always normal, I always start at the same time and end at the same time I am very consistant. Well, on Friday I had bad cramps all day then late that night I started bleeding. Later that night I used the restroom and there was a relativly round clear mucas looking object in the toilet when I was finished, about the size of a ping pong ball. (sorry to be gross). I saw an urgent care primary doctor on Saterday and he did a papsmear. He told me everything looked normal but when I told him about the bathroom incident (with the mucas) he said I lost my mucas plug??? I took a pregnancy test and it came back negative. It is now sunday and I am still having bad cramps and bleeding which seemed to stop when I wroke up but started again about three hours later. I also had cramping on Saterday and bleeding. I have not expierinced anything like this and could use some advise. Could I have had a miscarrage and the pregnancy test which was a blood test come back wrong?

I would appriciate any advice or suggestions. I do plan on seeing an OBGYN ASAP.
