Pregnant or Just Nuts???

So just to recap here's what's happened:
I'm on the pill (Got married in March & have been on it for 9 months)
My LMP began on 08/19 which was one week early
I continued to take my pills as though everything was normal & used a backup during my placebos since AF was early.
In Sept AF never did show up other than on the 23rd when I had a light brownish bleeding that lasted for almost exactly 5 hours & stopped.
In 15 years I've never missed AF or had anything other than a very normal fairly heavy one. So this one was totally wierd if it was AF.
On Sept. 5th I started 10 days of antibiotics.
I actually missed a couple of days of those pills & took the final one on the 17th.
We doubled up on protection for the antibiotics all but the 17th & after. (I'm still kinda new at all this & didn't realize you should double up up to 7 days after!)
I tested a couple times the first time AF was absent got BFN's.
I decided to wait & not go nuts testing constantly & just out of curiosity tested again on Oct. 13th (day before my birthday!) it was also BFN.
I have had some classic symptoms though:
Sore BB's, not constantly, but DH has to be very careful if he comes near them.
I had a massive migraine headache on Oct. 15th and vomitted about halfway through the day even though I had not eaten. ( No other vomitting though) I had to stay in bed all day that day.
On Oct. 14th(birthday) DH took off work to spend all day with me & I was terribly crabby & moody with him (It's like I knew I was being nuts but couldnt' stop) I spent litterally 3 hours that afternoon unable to stop crying. (Crying may attribute to the headache the next day???)
The only other symptom is that I am sooooo hungry lately, eating extra has made me gain some extra weight, but not much.
I don't know if it's possible that I'm pregnant or not. I feel like I'm going crazy wondering & I'm trying not to worry DH with it, so there's no one to talk to. I want to test every 10 minutes but every time I have so far it's been negative. Part of me thinks I'm pregnant, but I don't know if it's because I am or I just really really want to be!
My doctor isn't any help either, I called last month with the missed AF & they laughed & said not to worry that lots of women miss or even stop when they're on the pill. At the time I forgot to tell them about the antibiotics and that ever since I've been on the pill I've been just a regular & heavy as ever. It's just annoying that they so easily totally dismissed me...
If anybody here is going through anything even remotely similar I would love to hear from you. I think having someone to talk to would really help! AF is supposed to come tomorrow or Monday & it never ever comes later then Tuesday morning, so if it doesn't show up by Wednesday I'll be testing again. Thanks so much!!!

onto the advice....is the doctor who laughed at you by chance a man? or a woman with no children? my personal opinion is that, if you have a "woman problem", you'll be better understood by a woman doctor, and if you have a pregnancy "problem", you'll be better off with a woman doctor with children. but good luck getting a straight answer from someone! i know you need it!
