Do you think I may be pregnant after all?

I'll try to be as brief as possible! Ok, hubby & I have been trying for #3. My pregnancies before have all been conceived within 1 month without me really "trying", so I haven't tried BBT charting or using ovulation trackers or anything like that.

Feb of this year I made a very uninformed decision and got a Depo shot, then was on the pill May-August when we decided to try to get pregnant. The first period after getting off was after a 3 week cycle, but since then they have been a perfect 28/27 days.

My last period was Nov 3. Next was expected Dec 1. On the morning of Dec 1, I had cramping and 1 single drop of pinkish watery blood when I wiped in the morning, so I though AF was coming but it never did.

So I tested the morning of Dec 2 with a Clear Blue weeks estimate test. It was negative. I tested again Dec 6 with a cheap Kroger brand test, it was also negative.

My period is now over a week late with no sign of coming. Symptoms I'm having are headaches, nausea, breaking out (which rarely happens), irritable, a lot of thin whitish discharge, and painful intercourse (I feel tender inside).

We DTD on Nov 24, so is it possible that I ovulated late, conceived this day and the drop of blood on Dec 1 was implantation bleeding & so I tested too early to get a positive? Or am I just grasping at straws here with that theory? I'm so afraid to test again because the negative tests are so disheartening. What do you ladies think?

It's against TOU to ask if you are pregnant and these posts typically don't go over well.  It is so frustrating to get BFNs when you think you are late. 
If you are not tracking ovulation by BBT or OPK then there is no real way to know if you are late because you don't know when you ovulated. 
The general advice tends to be to test once a week and if you hit 60 days and she still hasn't shown up to call your doctor.

Thank you for letting me know politely  This is my first time in the community so I didn't know this was against the rules. I've googled myself to death over this so I just wanted to hear opinions from real people who may have been here before. Thank you

To answer your question, yes there is always a possibility, but obviously taking another HPT or getting a blood test done in office are the only ways to find out for certain. We Internet strangers can't see inside your uterus. 

That being said, this a question you should have posted on the TTGP board, not here. It is pretty insensitive to post about your possible pregnancy and symptoms in a board full of women who are disheartened by having to wait for various reasons before we're even able to try.

Oh, and heads up, LURK before posting. You're going to NOT want to make Speshul-Snowflayke posts about your possible implantation bleeding like this in the TTGP board unless you want to be eaten alive.

Consider this response an act of charity, and brush up on your Bump etiquette before you post again.

@jasminek8 I saw your post on TTGP they went pretty easy on you. I've been around the bump message boards for a while and they are an amazing source of support and knowledge for many women. It isn't like other message boards in that they like science here and don't like to tell people what they want to hear just because it might make them feel better in the moment. 
I do hope you will stay Lurk a while, read the pinned posts and wade into the board once you get a feel for it. 
I should add I am not active on TTGP currently because we not TTC until late spring/early summer but I can't wait to move on over when it gets close to my time. 
Good luck and I hope you get your BFP soon!
