The Pill, Cramps, and I'm Late...

Here's the deal...
Last month I was put on Birth Control (Loestrogen 24 Fe) about a week before christmas.  Well, I took the pills for the first week (started on a sunday) but on the 7th day, My car was broken into and my pocketbook stolen - with my pills inside.  Without thinking, I never got a refill to continue with the pill, just thinking that I would wait for my next period to restart them.  Well, Two days after the break-in I started bleeding, only for a few days.  It's been a month since my first december period (when I started the pills) and I haven't had my january period yet.  I've been feeling horrible cramping, and it feels like I am getting it, but everytime I check, it's nothing.  I've been sexually active, but we've always used a condom and checked each time for any rips, holes, etc and we've been fine.  I've also ben feeling really lightheaded and actually passed out in a movie theater a week after christmas... should I have something to worry about?  I'm afraid to take a test because I dont want to see it come out positive, but I am starting to worry about it... Am I overreacting?  Any words of wisdom would be great!
