Could I be pregnant?

I think I may be pregnant. This is my situation. I took the depo shot for about 1 1/2 years with no period at all and then switched to the pill. I took the pill for 3 months and i did get a period on the last week of the pills for all 3 months although they were light periods that lasted about 4 days. I then ran out of pills and was unable to go to appt because of new job schedule. I went for a month without taking the pill and did not get a period when expected to. About 2 weeks after I was soposed to have a period I had light spotting for only 1 day. It's now been about 2 weeks since then and still no more. For the past week or so I've been having sore breasts and fatique more than usual. I have also been hungry more often. Could I be pregnant or is my body just messed up from the birth control? Also, is now the right time to take a pregnancy test or is it too soon since I had that little bit of spotting for 1 day?

Oh Sweetie... I'm so sorry to hear about this confusion. I think it's just your body adjusting to the switch in birth control. But if you don't get your period, take a test. You could also call your doctor. They might have some extra advice I didn't think of. Have you also checked out the wonderful birth control board here at ivillage. http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-bhcontracept

good luck sweetie!!! HUGS!
