Question
I'm on birth control. and i haven't had my period this month, whats wrong and i took an at home pregencey test and it said not pregnent whats wrong?
You need to miss your period by one week and then take the test exactly according to directions. I suggest you do another test. Check the expiration date on the package before you buy it. If these questions continue, I suggest you contact your provider.
