stupid mistake=pregnancy?

I've been lurking for the past 2 days, looking for information. But..I haven't quite found it. So, I figured I ask. I'm a 25 year old professional and have been married for 21/2 years. I've been on birth control for 4. This pack..I started a week late. Then, I got sick. So..I was put on anti-biotics. I know that starting late & anti-biotics can increase the chance of becoming pregnant on the pill. I do not begin taking the green in-active pills until next week..but if I had started my pack of pills on time..my period would be this week.(i know this is all kind of confusing.) I started cramping last week, and my breasts are larger and my nipples are VERY VERY sensitive. More so than ever before. I'm just wondering if this means my period will come this week..like it should have if I had started my pills on time. Or..if this means I may be pregnant. Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated. I'm very nervous, anxious, going crazy...etc.
Thank you in advance,
Katherine

I don't think you would be getting a period at the normal time if you started the pack late. I think you would get your period during the green pills - whenever it is that you take them. I know some women that don't ever take the green pills - so they never have periods.
My big indicator during my last pregnancy was the nipple sensitivity. It was like I could "feel" them all the time. Sort of like being cold but more so. I know that is a weird desciption.
But having said that, I also thought I was pregnant last month because I convinced myself that I had that same feeling. It was all in my head, I think, though.
The only way to be sure is to wait until you are due to have your period and take a test if you are late. I guess you could stop taking the pill now and you should get your period in a few days, but then you would be a little off schedule with your pills. It might be worth the piece of mind.
Good luck!!
