Are these symptoms?

I am 20 years old and in college. I started taking birth control pills this July and have been on Yasmin. In November I got sick and took antibiotics. I got my period on November 28 and it ended on December 1st. I forgot to take my sugar pills, and then forgot to take my new week of birthcontrol pills. Me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex and I was afraid to start taking the pills if i was pregnant. We have had sex all month and never used a condom or the pull out method or anything. We had sex on the 14th which i think is the day i ovulate. I have had cramping for the past 2 weeks  (which i never have..not even around my period) I have also been extremely tired, i felt dizzy, and I cannot even stand the smell of macaroni, and i love macaroni. I am afraid I might be pregnant. Im supposed to start my period on christmas. But I took a HPT on December 19th and the result was negative, i realize it may be too early to tell if I am pregnant since it was more than 5 days before my missed period. Could my body just be reacting to not taking the pill and thats why i am cramping?

If I am pregnant I will be happy and if i'm not its okay too...i just really want to know either way and I feel like I cant right now...

Why would you have unprotected sex if you were not on the pill?  I am very confused by your post...You started birth control so obviously, you do not want to get pregnant.
Antibiotics can interfere with the birth control pill.  It says that on the bottle.
You probably need to go the clinic for a blood test if your period does not show up.  Please use a condom or another form of birth control if you do not want to have a baby.

i realize it wasnt the smartest thing to have unprotected sex. But like i said..i would be happy either way. I took a hpt this morning Dec. 23 and it came back negative so im assuming im not pregnant.

Take another HPT in a day or two and get yourself some piece of mind.
