Could i be pregnant?

[Mrs.palmquist]

Ovdr xmas my husband and i went home to visit family, while we were out of town i forgot my pack of pills, so i got my period. when we got home i started my new pack, this was around new years. at about day 3-4 or my new pack of pills my husband and i had sex, and he pulled out, although not entirely on time...
about a week after that my breasts and nipples felt very sore, but only for about 2 days. then following that i felt very gasy, just burping all the time which made me feel like i had to throw up. this is still going on about 2-3 weeks later. i am feeling very tired, cramping, mild headaches, heartburn and my skin has been breaking out. for the past 5 days or so i have been having dark brown spotting, but enough to wear i have to use a tampon, although not enough to be my period. today is sunday, which is the week i am supposed to get my period according to my pills. it usually comes around monday or tues. i have taking a HGC test but it came out negative.  i was wondering what is the normal amount of implantation bleeding? enough to have to use a tampon? could i be preggo or are these all just signs from getting off track of my pills? i have done that before with my pills and never experienced these side effects. what do you think the chances are that i might be pregnant?

i don't know...wait another week or so and take another hpt.  Implantation bleeding, to my knoweldge, is generally not enough you have to wear a tampon.  I had implantation bleeding...it was light pink in color and one day it was a faint brown.  i only had it for two days.  the first day it was only noticable when i wiped and i didn't need to wear anything...the second day, i only had to wear a panyliner.  But, you know...everyone is different....i would guess it could be your body adjusting to the pill issue...sometimes if you go off track with them, it can really mess your cycle up.  I hope you get the answer you want.

thanks, well i have read in different sites implanation bleeding can be 12hours to 6 days. i could have just used a panty liner, but the only thing i have around the house is a tampon so thats what i used! it definatly wouldnt fill up a panty liner! then tonight i had pretty bad cramping, i never get them with my period, or if i do its really mild. tonight it was pretty uncomfortable.  it was dark brn all week, but then tonight it was a little pink. so i am kinda stumped, its either my period comming and my body was all out of wack from the pills, i am preggo, or maybe something else like a cyst?? i am not sure, but hopefully i will find out soon!
