I think we might have screwed up

I need to be obsessive for the next few minutes so I can go back to sleep.
I stopped taking my BCP on Sept 29 and got my period on Oct 3. I had been on BCP for something like two years. I had stopped taking them so I could get an IUD placed but there was some mix up with the MD and the company so I couldn't get it put in and it wa too late to start BCP so we started using condoms faithfully. I don't know if maybe we used them wrong or something. We used them every time we had sex but like twice we just had it in there but nothing was going on. (I hope that's not TMI). Anyway around the middle of Oct I had this light pinkish d/c. I actually thought there might have been some blood in my urine but it wasn't. It was just really mucousey and pink. It lasted a day.
So now fast forward to now and I'm late. My boobs hurt and I feel sick all the time and tired. Everything down there feels swollen. I keep waiting to start but I haven't seen even the tiniest bit of anything indicating a period. I just feel so sick about this and really want it to start so I can get my IUD. I took one preg test that came back negative but when I was pregnant with my daughter I got a faint result at 8 weeks and didn't get an eye popping one until I went to the MD and she told me I wasn't four or five weeks I was ten weeks. This was nine years ago so I'm hoping the tests are better now.
I have three questions:
1) Could the pinkish d/c in middle of october have been a period?
2) Could I have been on BCP so long that my body is unsure of how to tell itself to ovulate and start a period?
3)For the last three weeks I have been under severe stress with a new second job and some very emotinal legal issues.
Could any of these things cause me to be late? I just wasn to start so I can get my IUD and not worry about this for another five years. I don't want another child. I have a wonderful 9 y/o and she is enough for me. My guy says whatever happens is fine with him. I Just can't fathom having a baby again.
UGH. I hope it starts and I hope someone here can help me or at least listen to my fear :)

What you said it does sound like you might be PG. The swollen thing was the kicker with me this time around. The spotting could be O or it could be implantation.
