Hi,
Though you have used protection, since your time of initiating the pills is a bit late during the cycle, you cannot be considered safe during this cycle. As such, you should exclude/confirm pregnancy. Since a urine test may not give you a definite result, you should opt for the serum beta-hCG titre estimation as this is sensitive as well as specific and gives you an earlier conclusion. You should see a specialist for further evaluation and management. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.
