Pregnant? Or just from stopping the pill?

My boyfriend and I have decided to try and conceive. I stopped taking the pill about a week and 1/2 ago.(Was on Lessina) On Nov 11 and 12 I started spotting brown blood and was slightly crampy. I've been crampy since, and occasionally have a pain in my left side. My breasts have started to become tender and my nipples are extremely sensitive. I did have a breast augmentation about a month ago, although I stopped having any pain or discomfort from it about 2 weeks ago, other than incision pain. I've also noticed that I've been pretty flushed. No fever but my face is bright red and hot. My appetite has been up and down, not wanting to eat at all for a few days, and then not being able to eat enough for the next few.
Could I be pregnant already, or could this just be from stopping my birth control?
I'll be taking a HPT as soon as I can, but it's still early. My periods not due until almost the end of the month.
I just can't stand the waiting, so I'm hoping somebody has some input

While I seriously doubt you are pregnant, it's certainly possible. The reason I doubt it is because you were totally protected until a week and a half ago. That would mean that you would've had to ovulate, fertilize, and go through implantation to already be showing pregnancy symptoms. Implantation typically occurs within 2 weeks of initial conception. In other words, it would be extremely early for you to be showing symptoms. Chances are stronger that this is a result of going off the pill. Your body is trying to adjust to the different hormone levels etc.

Thanks Beautiful Disaster. I kinda knew that in the back of my mind, but I guess I really just needed someone to tell it to me. I really want a child, and my mind kept hoping that maybe we got lucky and conceived early(I've actually been on and off the pill for the past 3 weeks or so before finally making the decision to stop completely) We will keep trying and maybe we will get lucky and conceive soon
