On birth control but just switched from Loestrin 24 to Ortho tricyclen lo

Has anyone ever switched from Loestrin 24 to Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo?  Anybody ever gotten pregnant while on the "lo estrogen" pills?  I switched from Loestrin to Ortho because I started not having periods AT ALL on the Loestrin and I had CRAZY PREGNANCY SYMPTOMS.  I got a blood test but it was negative.  Now I am on Ortho and am a little nervous because I've heard and read that some people have gotten pregnant on this pill.  Any advice????  PLEASE

Whewww... my thing is, I took a blood test April 1- negative.  BUT from March 20-30 I took antibiotics for a sinus infection.  I was still on Loestrin but I stopped taking it March 29th because I hadn't had my period since January 5th and I was feeling pregnant.  Anyway, I started bleeding April 1-4.  I started my new pills Ortho on April 6th.  Now I'm feeling VERY CRAMPY in my stomach.  I've just read that some people have gotten pregnant on this pill because it is low estrogen.  I'm just wondering...
