Question
Hi ive been on the yasmin pill for 6 months, I missed 2 tablets on week three of the last monthly pill,now silly me didnt use any back up protection, my period way due last wednesday and didnt come so its been now 9 days ive done a pregnancy test and it neg-,could i still be pregnant? I though if i dont start my new pill my period would return but its didnt so i missed 4 day of the new pill but i was told that i should keep on taking it, so i have. Feedback would be great!
Home pregnancy test can be unreliable. Do you have any symptoms of pregnancy, breast tenderness, stomach upset, etc.?
If your period doens't come you might want to go to a doctor to get a good pregnancy test. Research says the pill is not harmful in early pregnancy.
