I have posted here last week to get some input, and I did, and thank you. Now my question is....(Just a quick recap..) I really really screwed my first week of my pill last month. Completely not taking one of them. All the rest were late by 12 hours to a full day. Then I ovulated Tue-Wed......and had unprotected sex that tuesday. (He did it inside me...sorry TMI) The thing was that I was thinking I ovulated the following week, and thought it was going to be ok. Well boy did I screw up. I was wrong and ovulated the next few days. 8 days after ovulation....I had heartburn EXTREMELY bad for days. I have had this on and off upset stomach since then also, along with constipation...(which is fine now) Well this is my off week from my pill...so I have had this really ODD bleeding. Along with some cramping. Very Very dark. Not normal at all. Could it be from screwing up my pill?? Or could I be preggo? Someone had said last week, that I could still have a period while being pregnant because of the change in hormones from my pill.Not sure if I should waste 15 bucks for a HPT, or just wait. The symptoms really haven't changed since last week. Still have heartburn, and still have on an off upset stomach. So anyone with some input would be great.

Just took a second HPT and it's positive. So, two positives and a period that hasn't shown up 6 days into my non-hormone pills. Time to make that doc's appointment.
I didn't have ANY kind of period at all. Nothing. And none of my usual "lead up" to it. I generally get a little bloated before hand. Nothing. Usually get really tender breasts. Not at all. In fact, you would think I'd get that from the pregnancy. But it's like I've become something other than a woman w/a cycle. LOL
With my only other child NINE years ago (OMG! I can't believe I am doing this again)I had nearly every other symptom in the book right away. Go figure...
Thanks everyone.
So, this is inconvienent (missing a carribbean honeymoon next summer. Sigh...) but VERY VERY exciting!!!!
Take the test. let us know what happens. It'll only take a quick minute and then you can stop obsessing either way and get on with life, no matter what the outcome.
Thanks for the comforting responses, and any other suggestions would be great.
When you say your test was blank do you mean that the reference window was also blank? If so, it doesn't necessary mean that you are not pregnant or that you are, but that the test was invalid. I don't want to put more stress on you but I wouldn't want you to think that the test was 100% accurate. Good luck and please let us know if anything changes.
Thanks to all.
