I've been on continuous birth control pills for years and recently switched to a different brand. I just finished a 7-day course of doxycycline for a UTI. I experienced breakthrough bleeding for 2-3 days while on doxycycline and now have menstrual-like cramps and pain on my right side. Can doxycycline cause breakthrough bleeding and why might I be having these cramps?

I am on birth control pills and last month I was 12+ hours late taking one. About 2 days later my boyfriend and I had sex. After that I started a very heavy period not at my normal time. When it was time for my normal period, I only spotted for about 1 day. Since then I have been having a lot of discharge, feeling like I can't get enough water, and have not had an appetite. What are the chances that I am pregnant?
