I missed 4 pills
Posted: 09-08-03 13:05pm

I missed 4 pills (which i've done before). I decided to wait until I got my period again to just go ahead and start a new pack. Well that was just about 4 weeks ago and I still haven't gotten my period. I was sexually active during that time. I took a pregnancy test last night and it was negative. Could it be wrong because I really haven't missed a period yet. I welcome any advice!..Thank you.

Your period might just be a little late, so wait to see if it comes. I know getting off the pill kinda makes your period irregular because the pill controls the hormones. Wait a few more days to take another test. Good luck.

Well, hopefully you are not pregnant, but just remember, pregnancy tests can give false negatives, but there is no such thing as a false positive result...So be greatful that it was a negative. Weight a couple days and take another test. But next time you miss 4 pills, take one asap when you remember you missed, take another one that night, then take one the following morning, and then take another one that night again (2 pills for 2 days in a row) and continue as normal after that. But, never ever ever stop taking the pills and be sexually active at the same time without a backup method. If you havent gotten your period within a month of all this, go to the doctor for a blood test.

Good luck! My fingers are crossed for you
