I think I might be pregnant....Last month I was on birth control pills. I had sex about May 18th and ended up taking my pill about 12 hours too late. For about the rest of May up to June 2nd, I was really bad about taking my pills. I didn't miss any, but I usually take my pill at 9am and I might take one at 5pm and the next day at 7pm, 9am, 1pm, etc.
June 5th I noticed a bit of blood and assumed it was my period and used a pad. Then I realized that my bleeding was so light that I could go without a pad even. It lasted until the next day. Usually my periods are 5-6 days and much heavier, even when I was on birth control before. That really concerned me.
The next couple of weeks after that, I was having cramps and I thought that was very strange since I was no where near expecting a period.
Now, more recently like in the past few days, I noticed my nipples and the immediate area are EXTREMELY sore. I can't remember them being that sore since I first started taking birth control.

I took 3 pregnancy tests and they were all negative but I think I may have taken them too early. I took one on the 25th and it was negative. Then I took one on June 1st and another on the 4th which were also negative.

What do you think my chances are of being pregnant?

Some women have gotten pregnant while on the pill, usually because they missed a few. You haven't missed any but have taken them sporadically which can cause hormonal imbalances which can also cause the symtoms you described. I doubt you are pregnant, but it has been a while since you tested, it wouldn't hurt to retest just to be safe.
