Hi I have been on microgynon for a while now and i have never missed my pill. but the last three packs of microgynon i have been taking wihtout the seven day break, ie taking the pills continuously wiht out giving myself my seven pill free days. I have just started on my fourth pack ( due to a very hectic new life- just moved to a new country new job etc-travelling all the time) and i have taken the pregnancy test twice.Both the times its shown up as negative.Does that mean im not pregnant or is it the microgynon affecting the result.Pls help.Where in london can I go to be 100 percent sure. Would i have to take a blood test at an NHS?

Birth control pills do not affect the accuracy of pregnancy tests. If you've been taking the pills continuously without the break, you won't get a period. I would trust the pregnancy test. I don't think a blood test is necessary. Try taking your 7 day break on this pack and seeing if you get your period.

You're not pregnant, as said above birth control pills do not effect pregnancy tests.

I'm on microgynon too, & I really think you should give yourself a 7 day break at the end of this pack.. you're not doing yourself any favours. Oh & no, you're not pregnant.. don't waste the doctor's time by asking for a blood test.
