What's going on?

I'm very confused. I am on the pill (very low dosage). My LMP was July 27 and I am due to start next AF between Aug 24-26. It usually takes a few days after my last active pill before AF actually starts and it usually starts off light but gets heavy by the second day. Well, this month I was late on a couple pills but I would take them the next morning and then the regularly scheduled one at night like usual. Well, on the 21st, I started with light spotting and light cramps, way before I usually start feeling PMS symptoms or start AF. Today is the 22nd, and I'm still spotting, but nothing like a regular period. It's brown and watery and very little. But the cramps were a little bit more intense this morning, but went away with a heating pad. Sorry this is long, but I'm wondering what my chances are of being pg? And when should I test to see if I am? Other symptoms I've had this month are nausea, extremely sore nipples (but not so much now), and very emotional. These started in the middle of the month which seems to be too early for pg symptoms. I bought an HPT last night, but don't want to waste it by doing it too early. Please advise!

Ok well you missed some pills so you will spot here and there, and since you said you had a water down brown spotting that sounds like it could be implantation spotting, now if that was the cause then you can test 5days after the implantation 5days from when it started.
