General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Birth control pills should be regularly taken every day at the same time in order to maintain your hormone levels. Missing the pill or taking them irregularly can reduce the efficacy and increase the chance of pregnancy. I would suggest you to take a pregnancy test by 2 weeks after sexual intercourse or 10 days after your missed period. Any testing before this period can cause false negative results.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
