Could I be pregnant?

On March 21st and March 29th I had unprotected sex while on Junel birth control. I had my period from March 24th through March 27th. Yesterday, May 5th, I had pain in my uterus that felt like ovulation. However, I know this shouldn't be happening because I am on the pill. Today, along with a little less of that pain, I am having brown, thick discharge. I've read that sometimes the horomones in the pill a gal takes might not be strong enough and can therefor cause breakthrough bleeding. But I've also read that this brown discharge can be a sign of implantation and pregnancy.
I am very concerned as none of this makes sense. I do not want to be pregnant, which is why I am on Birth Control in the first place.
I have serious anxiety, so hopefully someone can help me pretty quickly!
Do I need to get a pregnancy test? I'm too afraid to go to my parents while I'm still this unsure because they think that I haven't had sex in a couple months. (I broke up with the last guy but am seeing someone else without them knowing)
Thank you.

Stress, diet or exercise changes, and other things can cause changes in your cycle. Take a test to ease your mind. More likely than not you're not pregnant.

I have never had an irregular period on this pill before (I've been on it for over half a year)... Why am I suddenly having breakthrough bleeding?

Most likely you got your period and are not pregnant. If you are still worried,  take a test.

UPDATE: the bleeding has increased to that of a light to medium day of period flow. It's red and a tish less mucous-y. What does this mean?
