PG and on the pill?

Okay, I have been on BCP for the last several months, and have been having sex pretty regularly for the past 3 months. I'd really like to NOT be PG, since I'm trying to get a divorce, but I think I may be. How likely is it that the pill didn't work? I had really awful diarhea (tmi, sorry) for two days this week, and yesterday I was lightheaded for most of the day. My clothes are feeling snug around the middle and I've been working out and not eating more than usual. I got my "period" last month when I was supposed to after taking the pill for 28 days, but was spotting several days before it was due, and I never miss a pill so I don't think it was break thru bleeding. Also, my bbs are sore and if I calculate correctly I'd be about 7 weeks pg and that's about when they started when I was pg with my first.
How accurate would a HPT be since I'm still on the pill? Should I stop taking it?? I have about another week left of the active pills...HELP!

birth control would do nothing to a at home test.. i would take one if u were worried. bc does not have the hormone HCG only pregnany does. but pills trick ur body into thinking its pregnant for the most part so you can have symptoms and not really be pregnant... my periods and body were all over the place when i started BC... just take a test! that will be your answer! or see the dr! good luck~!
