I'm on Valette, missed a couple of pills but took the pill on the day my hubby and i had sex, which was towards the mid of June , had spotting end of june, and begining ofJuly.. no periods as such... Stopped my pill in 2nd week July, (as my husband works overseas). 2 weeks back, i took a home pregnancy test, which showed negative and retested again last week, it showed negative.
Why is my period late? can i be pregnant even though my pregnancy test shows negative?

Dear Anon, you may not be pregnant. You should be taking your birth control pills regularly even if your husband is away. You are confusing your body when you abruptly stop after two weeks, it [your body] thinks that it is placebo week, so it gets out of whack and that's what may be causing the spotting (the fact that you are not supposed to have a period every 2 weeks). So your body is wondering "where are my pills this week?" Remember that when you are on birth control, the last week of pills are placebo pills and this is the week you should be getting your period or preparing to get your period.

If this spotting persists once you have established a regular pill routine, then consider visiting your health care provider, who may issue a blood test to determine whether it is that you are pregnant.
