Missed Period While on Birth Control: Possible Pregnancy Concerns?


Question
 I am currently taking Femcon FE as a birth control method,
and have been for about 4 months or so now,  Prior to this,
I was trying other pills but was having side effects and had
to change it quite a few times.  i am currently in a
monogamous with my boyfriend, who I have been with for the
past four months.  We had both been tested and since I was
on the pill, I figured that it would be safe to have
unprotected sex with him.  This month, however, I did not
get my period as planned.  I was supposed to get my period
this week, which usually comes like clockwork since I am on
the pill.  I usually get me period by Tues/Wed and it is now
Fri and I have not gotten so much as a spot of blood.  Last
night, I had taken the First response pregnancy test and it
came out negative.  I am still concerned, however, since I
had not gotten my period.  I was going to take another test
in a few days since the test said that I may not have enough
hormones in me at that time, which can produce a negative
result.  Am I being overly paranoid?  Is there other reasons
why I may not have gotten my period at all other than being
pregnant?  Please give me your two cents on this, I would
appreciate it.  Thank you.

Hi Stephanie,

I just got to your question so sorry about the slight delay.

Has anything further happened since you posted your location? Please let me know. You may email me at CHERYL51@aol.com
Please let me know any changes so I may advite you.

By the way, there is no such thing as protected sex. There is no 100% guaranteed method of birth control that can guarantee no pregnancy.

Please write soon so I can advise you based on more recent updates on your part.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
