Stopped Birth Control mid-pack, does the bleeding count as a period? ?

I had been taking ortho tri-lo for a few months, I had a dull pain in my ovaries 24-7 and it made my periods even more painful than ever. I kept on taking them but when I started my 4th pack, I had lost them so I ended up starting my pack a day late. About a week later I got horrible pains in my ovaries/uterus area and started spotting, it really freaked me out, so I stopped taking it a few days later. I was told you should have withdrawal bleeding immediately if not a few days after stopping mid-pack, but it took about a week and a half, and I only bled very little. My question is: Do I count that "withdrawal bleeding" as a period? If not I should've had my period 2weeks ago, so I'm not really sure what to go by, as far as if I need to take a pregnancy test b/c I'm late or just not worry about it...

Any input?
