Could I be pregnant?!

Hi all-
I am 22 and will be 8 days late for my period tomorrow. I had sex on the last day of my period around July 7 (was on the inactive pills on my BC) and about 2 weeks later I had some very light spotting. I didn't really think anything of it but lately I have been getting headaches, very tired (to the point where I fall asleep after I get home from work), plus light cramping and pretty achy hips, especially at night. The thing is, I have taken 2 home pregnancy tests, today and yesterday, and they were both negative, not even a faint line. I keep feeling like I'm going to get my period but it never comes, and it's been about 4-5 days since I started feeling like that. I know you can't really give me a straight answer because every pregnancy or just a missed period is different but I'd love some feedback on what I should do! I highly doubt I'm pregnant just because I was on BC and my period but I'm still a bit nervous...I've NEVER missed a period, the max time it has been late is 4 days and I've always been very regular, even in times of high stress.

    It's highly unlikely you're pg. The spotting may have been breakthrough bleeding because of the type of BC you're on.

    Test again next week, and continue testing until you get to 60 days without a period. At that point, check in with your doctor.
