My first question would be: how long have you been on the pill? Because for some women the pill slows down the period - and for some it comes to a complete stop. That could be what's happening.

Have you taken your pill regularly? Have you missed any? That could have an effect too.

Also, the pill does have a failure rate, it is possible that you are pregnant (and the test was taken too early). I'd say wait a week or two (i know it's hard when you're wondering and worried) and take it again. Http:// preconception.Com/resources/articles/hptta ble.Htm is a pretty good chart saying how sensitive home pregnancy tests are.

Oh and try not to get too stresses! Stress is notorious for delaying periods.

Good luck!
