Hi Anonymous,
Oral contraception is effective only if taken properly, that means, every day and at the same time each day. You can become pregnant depending on when you missed a dose, for example, on the day you ovulated and had unprotected sex, and for how long, chances increase if you skip seven or more days in a row.
To test for pregnancy, you have 2 options. A blood test that can detect the pregnancy hormone hCG 7 to 12 days after conception. You could test with a home pregnancy test. While some products claim accurate results as early as the first day of a missed period, it is advisable to wait until one week after a missed period until testing.
Hope this helps!
