Q: Started Pack Late...cramping... ?

I realize I sound like a lot of others on here, but....

This month, I started my bc a day late. (on the 5th. My period was feb 27th-march 5th) I technically stopped the last pack early, so my days without pills became 8 instead of the normal 7. I didn't realize this till this past monday.

My boyfriend and I had sex the 5th, 6th, 11th, and 13th. He pulled out each time (which I know isn't particularly useful, but i'm on bc so we weren't worrying much.)

now i'm worried that the late pill pack might have caused me to ovulate after all? If so, i'm wondering if I would have ovulated on the 14th day or some other time earlier? Also, I know that if you take 7 pills in a row it stops ovulation (i read a whole bunch of research), and technically my 7 pills was the 11th.

My period is due this sunday night or monday. Today was my last pill of the pack. I'm stressing myself out worrying over this, I know, so it may be late because of that. However, i've had really light cramping all week since monday when I realized I had missed a pill. I know it could be all in my head....

Last, I know I can't take a hpt yet that would be accurate.

Any help? Ideas? Thoughts?
