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.

Tested this morning with FMU, but still negative... I'm gonna wait a few more days and if I still don't have my period then I'll test again... I've went off of the pill before, both the same one I was on this time and a different one, and I've always had a very quick recovery time... I'm usually back on track the first month (my periods have always been very regular on and off the pill)... but... you never know... I'll keep you updated! Thanks!
