off the pill since Feb...need some help

Ok, I was on the pill for the last 4 years and stopped in February so that we could start trying. My period was about a week late the first time off of the pill, the next one was 2 weeks late, and then two after that were about normal.

I started spotting July 6th and that lasted about 4 days and was a dark brownish color. I called my Dr. and she said to wait and see if my period comes the next week (when its due), and if not then to take a HPT. So, thursday comes around and I start spotting the brownish blood again in the late afternoon. Its been a mix between the brownish color blood, and just regular blood, and some clots. Other than that, I have no other symptoms to signal my period...no backache, cramps, or anything. Just the spotting.

Am I?? I really need to hear fomr someone who was on the pill for a looong time, then stopped and what happened next..and some motherly advice would be good too..

It was supposed to be here on Thursday. I forgot to add too...and I want to say sorry in advance for TMI..but I feel its important. When I look at the blood, it was kinda of sticky looking, and almost clear or pink in some places. I don't know what to think, but I'm probably going to buy a test after work. Should I wait to test in the morning or would it still show tonight?

If you were due last Thursday, it should show tonight if you are pg. My very first pg test I took that was positive, I had taken at night and I was 5 1/2 weeks along. The lines popped up so fast it startled me.
