Is It Possible That Taking Sugar Pills With Birth Control Pills Will Increase Pregnancy Risk?
Hi, i am taking birth control, and during the sugar pills (where i usually get my period), I was super stressed. My period didnt come and now I am fours days into the new pack and still havent gotten it. Is it possible it just wont come anymore now that I have started the new pack? Or should I take a pregnancy test?

Hello madam
Mental stress does affect menstrual cycles, can cause early or delayed cycles. If you start the next pack you are not likely to get periods , however you may get break through bleeding. Stopping the pills usually causes withdrawal bleed within a week. So wait for a week.
