pregnant? obsessed? I need advice.

I got off of birth control (pills) last month, and I am now 3 days late for my period. This is how I got that number, by the way: on the pill, my cycle is 28 days. Without the pill, my cycle is normally 30 days. I'm counting from 30 days. So I'm either 5 days late or 3 days late, depending on how you look at it.
I took a test (Clearblue Digital) last night, and it came out negative. However, I had also just drank a bunch of orange juice, so my pee was probably diluted. Also, it seemed like the test didn't take very long to decide that I wasn't pregnant... it took like, a minute. So I'm not so sure I trust the digital test.
My breasts aren't really that tender, but the nipples have become weirdly sensitive and my breasts have also seemed to have grown a bit in the past week or so... something that doesn't happen around my period. I'm slightly bloated and I don't have any cramping and I've had a constant runny nose (could possibly be attributed to allergies, though). I've had bouts of nausea a couple times a day for the past week. I also have a clear, thin discharge... not the usual dryness I experience right before my period. The worst thing is the exhaustion... I've been sleeping about 8-9 hours at night (a lot for me) and then I've been taking a 3 hour nap in the afternoon.
So, here's my question. Am I obsessing over nothing? Or should I take another test? If so, does anyone have a test to recommend, since I'm thinking maybe I should try a different kind?
Sorry this was so long... hopefully someone can help though :)

I would definatly take another test using first morning urine :) Pregnant obsessed? Nope - you are talking to someone who spent a crap ton on pregnancy tests because certain times I thought I was preggers.
If you are preggers I am envious of your lack of symptoms. I swore I have had issues with being pregnant as soon as I got a BFP. Good luck and keep us posted. If you don't get your period by Friday, definatly give your doctor a call.
I agree.
