Last month I was given the generic brand of my birth control pill. I ve been on the pill for 15+ years and I have always been regular on and off the pill. On the generic brand I had breakthrough bleeding for 2 weeks and then when I was on the placebo pills I had my period. After that I resumed taking my regular birth control pill which is Alesse. This time on the placebo pills I never got my period! The only time I ve ever skipped a period is when I was in fact pregnant. I tested 5 days after the placebo pills with afternoon urine using First Reponse Early Pregnancy Test and it said negative. Is it possible I m pregnant? I ve never missed a period on the pill before.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Sometimes with long time usage of contraceptive pill you may have amenorrhea. As your urine pregnancy test is negative, you can continue with next pack as per schedule. If you are still having doubt, better to go for blood test for pregnancy which will give more accurate result compared with Urine Pregnancy Test. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
