Q: inconsistent bc

Hello Everyone,
I'm sixteen. I have been really inconsistent on birth control since I started having sex in April, but I decided to start the pill. Last month, I started the pill randomly in the middle of the month, and didn't give it time to start working before I had unprotected sex three times. Before even a week on it, I stopped taking it because it was giving me depression problems.
However, I began bleeding a few days after I stopped taking it. Though this wasn't when my period was due, I figured I bled enough to consider it an early period.
A day or two after the bleeding stopped I returned to my gynecologist and was put on a different BC pill. Loestrin 24 fe has been working great for me as far as side effects go but now I am into my second week on it and I randomly started spotting brown blood. That stopped, and (as gross as this sounds) I have been passing clumps of tissue, without blood. I know spotting is normal on BC but I have also been experiencing terrible cramping and back pain. And oddly enough, my hips have widened significantly, if that means anything lol.
Could I possibly be pregnant? I feel really in the dark about this whole situation because I was very into NFP before the pill and now I feel like I have no clue if I ovulated, had my period, ext. which was always a reliable source of knowledge for me.
Thank you VERY much to anyone who can help!

Theres always a chance.. might be slim but there is.. the only way u can find out if your pregnant is to take a pregnancy test, since it sounds like your periods went haywire.. id take one now, if its negative... wait a few weeks, take another ... if thats one is negative then you SHOULD be fine... i say should becausei have irregular periods, and i texted 8 weeks after my last period and it still said negative... and i am very much pregnant lol you can go to the dollar store and get a few tests, and test every few weeks untill you get a normal period...

thanks for replying lag !

I'm going to try to test in a few days if things are seeming weird.
But I'm curious, were you on the pill or anything when you got preg?

I was on the depo shot when I became pregos. If you are on a pill or any term of 'birth control' There is chance of retardation or ending the babies lives. If you think your preg. stop taking the pill. Go see your doctor and get tested.
