Did you make-up the pills you missed?

Missed birth control pills can cause irregularities in your menstrual cycle, depending on which pills were missed (during what week), as well as other factors (did you begin taking the pills again, did you "make up" the missed pills as directed, etc).

If you take a home pregnancy test too soon (it needs to be about 2 weeks after unprotected sex, and after a missed period), it will not be accurate in detecting a pregnancy.

- When were you expecting your period?
- When was your last period (the first day of bleeding)?
- When did you have unprotected sex?
- Did you make up the missed pills, or continue using the remainder of your pills?
- Did you use emergency contraception?
- When did you take the home pregnancy test?
