Pregnancy Test

Ok well basically last week due to various reasons i missed a couple of pills in my packet by forgetting to take them to my boyfriends house when i slept over and by vomiting them back up. We thought i should take a pregnancy test just to make sure and i took it last night and it came out as not pregnant. However, it has only been a few days since i missed them so would it show up now or not? I have one test left in the packet should i use it like next month before my period is due or something? Sorry i don't really know much about them! Thanks for any help

It won't show up until a few days before your period is due, so wait about 3 weeks since you missed the pills and then do it.

Pregnancy tests are usually 90%(or above) accurate! If your not sure just take a test at the weekend or next week! Im sure you will be fine though if you are on the pill!

Well i'm not due for another 3 weeks ish, and i have the first response test which says it can tell up to 4 days before your period if you're pregnant or not so shall i wait and take it then?

Yes, or it won't be accurate.

The earliest a pregnancy test would show up is 9 to 11 days after you conceived. So wait till 12 days after you missed the last pill and hopefully you'll get true reading (though with my daughter I did a test (first response) when my period was a day late and it was negative, but I was sure I was pregnant - got a postive 6 days later

Remember, you can get a false negative, but if it says positive, it is right.
