Q: am I pregnant?

I went back on the pill last month after being off it for a few months. I took them every day & was pretty good about it. At the end of the month, my first month on the pill, I had unprotected sex. It was on the same day that I took the last pill in the pack. My period started two days later. It was heavier than usual. A bit darker. And I had more cramps right at the beginning. It lasted about 6 days, the usual.

It's been four days since my period ended now. They're not cramps, but sometimes I get more like discomfort in my lower abdominal/pelvic region. It's not specific to one side or anything and comes and goes. I've been burping more often than usual which I read could be an early sign. Other than that I haven't really had any signs. I took a home test and it was negative. (Is it too early? It's been 2 weeks since I had sex.) Is there a possibility that I'm pregnant even after the heavy period?

You are protected on birth control pills after a week, right? It is a very slim chance you would be pregnant. With birth control a negative test, I'd say you are not pregnant.

Is it possible for a fertalized embryo to survive a period?

It is doubtful that you are pregnant since you were also taking birth control pills. Birth control pills prevent ovulation. No ovulation means no risk of pregnancy. If you still think you are pregnant, take another test.

Your chances are very very slim that you are pregnant considering how your period was very heavy. It is very rare for pregnant women to bleed, and when they do bleed it is usually a much much lighter bleeding. You are also on the pill which is a form of protection that is very accurate, and you have a negative tests, so I would not worry too much.
