late period + abdominal cramps for a week

i've been really worried for the past couple of weeks. my period is late and i've recently stopped using the pill. mainly just because i didn't fill my next prescription because I was swamped with work and school.
For the past week or so i've had abdominal cramps and pains like you would get before your period..but no period has come. I also have very heavy vaginal secretions... which feel like it could be my period.. and I check and it's not.
maybe i should just get a pregnancy test and see for myself, but i was wondering what else it could be before I scared myself with that.

I am a week late and I've been cramping on and off for two weeks. I have had bad migraines, sore breast, frequent urination, feeling sick and increased appetite.  The weirdest thing is while having intercourse there was pressure which felt like a blockage in my vagina. I know I should just see a doctor but there have been false alarms before. I am 21 and I have never been on bc.

Some women may have negative pregnancy test if they do not have enough HCG in their system. Does not mean your not pregnant. If you really want to check and you still have no period get a blood test done.
