Guide

You did the right thing by doubling up to make up for missed pills.

Do you recall if you had sex on the days when you stopped and did not take any birth control pills?

A urine test, like a home pregnancy test, can detect hCG (pregnancy hormone) levels about 12 to 14 days following conception.

To get accurate results, it is important to test at the right time and not too early. If you remember which day you had unprotected sex, count ahead 12 to 14 days and test. Read and follow the directions carefully to get accurate results.

A hCG blood test is more accurate and detects hCG levels about 11 days after conception. But you need to get it done at your doctor's office, hospital lab or health clinic.
