anti-biotics on pill pregnancy symptoms help!!!!

Hi all, this may be long, for which I apologise! I am obsessing over pregnancy symptoms.
I am on the pill, but was on antibiotics for 10 days, from cd23 of my last cycle, until cd 6 of this cycle. Because I'm on the pill I wasnt expecting my withdrawal bleed until the monday(day after cd 28), but actually bled quite heavily from the sat (cd 26). So I think the antibiotics affected my pill. I had my usual week off from the pill, which I later realised I shouldn't have done, and that means I could have possibly ovulated. I think it may have been on cd 13, which would have been the 7th day of taking pills consecutively, so after that day I should have been covered.
I hope you are all still following! Today, I should be 14 dpo, but am not expecting withdrawal bleed until monday. I have taken hpts and only got negatives, I used early response this morning. Surely if I am preggers it would show up now, with being 14 dpo? I always had positive hpt 3-4 days before period due with all 3 of my other pregnancies, but don't know when I ovulated with them.
I have some symptoms, sore and tingly boobs, nausea, cramping and a horrible ache in my hips, back and legs, which reminds me of my pelvic girdle pain in my last pregnancy. I have also had the most horrendous headaches for the last week, which have woken me up and stopped me getting back to sleep, even though I am exhausted.
Any opinions would be gratefully appreciated, as its all I can think about.

You could be getting an hormanal response because of the constant changes on anti-b's. It's more or less certain that your pill stopped working. That does not mean you got pregnant as people who are ttc will confirm. I am sorry but you are just going to have to wait it out. Perhaps think how you would feel if pregnant?

Thank you for replying! I would actually be happy if I was pregnant, which maybe why I am convincing myself I am! I know I have to wait it out, time goes so slowly when you are waiting for something!
