Don't know if i could be pregnant?

Hi i am 18! I had started my birth control 5 days after i ovulated, as instructed by my doctor, and then i had to stop a couple of days before i was supposed to ovulate. My fiancée and i are wondering if i could have fallen pregnant seeing as we have been having a lot of unprotected sex. I have been very tired lately, my boyfriend complains that i am really moody, i have the urge to eat all the time now but little meals, and i have a strange craving for M&Ms. I have been bloated for the past week and i was expecting my period but as of today its 4 days late, my cycles are very regular, i can tell down to the minute when i should get my period, but this month it hasn't come. I have on and off constipation. My breasts feel heavy and my nipples have gotten darker and larger in the last three days. Should i take a pregnancy test or just wait if my period comes??

My period is regular whether on birth control or not. When i was on birth control for 3 years i was getting my period every 28 days just like when i was off it, and that wasn't when i was on placebo pills, its just my body. When i stopped birth control nothing affected my period it was right on time as usual. This time i didn't have my period in march and im late for this period. I have had 2 negative test already but they were both 2-3 weeks ago. Im getting tested again today.

and i like the birth control that i am on. i had to stop because of 15 days of antibiotics.

I am sure different birth control pills are different, but when I first started taking the pill I was told by my Dr. to use protection during the first month taking the pill because it takes some time for your body to build up. So if you were having unprotected sex right when you started then yes you could be pregnant. Buy a pregnancy test and take it with you first urine in the morning.

Take a pregnancy test. However, it wouldn't be unusual to be late if you just started and then stopped birth control. Birth control has a lot of hormones in it that just stopping could cause your period to be all over the place. Also yhr majority of the symptoms you are experiancing you wouldn't be experiancing this early in pregnancy. Plus symptoms aren't an accurate way to determine pregnancy since you could have no symptoms and be pregnant or every symptom in the book and not be. The best thing at this point is to test. If it is negative wait a week and if you don't get your period then retest. If still negative and no period for another week contact your doctor and request a blood test. Also try finding a different birth control that is easier for you.
