pregant while taking bcp?

Hi,
I have been taking estrostep as birth control for four years and it has always worked well- no spotting, no missing, nothing unusual. I take it the same time every day also. I was supposed to get my period on 4/23 but didn't get anything, which is unusual because I usually have a very heavy cycle. On 4/29 I got really light spotting once. I took an at home pregnancy test on 4/25 and it said negative. Should I take another one again? Has anyone else here had the experience of getting pregnant while taking the bcp? Should I be worried that I might be pregnant or am I overly concerned?

I'm in the same situation, I've been on Ortho for years, and now I'm a week late. I've taken two tests already and they've both come up negative. I'm waiting another few days before I test again. But I would retest if youhaven't taken one since 4/25

I recently found out I was pregnant and I took my pills religiously, so it's definitely possible. I experienced spotting before I was due for my period, though.

At any rate, I'd test again.
