Is Spotting Between Periods Related To Pregnancy?

So I had my period a couple weeks ago. It was a day late and a little shorter and lighter than usual. And for the past several weeks I ve been having what seems like symptoms of pregnancy, headaches, being tired all the time, being made nauseous by some of my favorite foods,wanting stuff to eat that I normally hate, just plain nausea, some constipation and diarrhea, being extremely moody and crying over stupid things, a warm sensation in my lower abdomen, slight cramps in my lower abdomen. I took a pregnancy test last week but it came back negative. I am on birth control, but at the end of February I got behind on it and started taking it again in March so my birth control was off for a bit. I stopped taking it the other day because I am not sure if I am pregnant or not. But yesterday I had a little bit of bleeding, and today I have slight cramping and a little bit of really really dark colored and kind of thick bleeding. It s not constant, it comes and goes, but I m not due for my next period until next month. So I m not sure what s wrong with me. Could I be pregnant? Spotting between periods is really unusual for me. Could the spotting be because I stopped taking my birth control a couple days ago? What could the other symptoms be from? Should I take another pregnancy test?

Hello,

Pregnancy is a definite possibility given your symptoms. So please repeat a home pregnancy test with the first-morning urine sample.
