Is Pregnancy Possible While On Levest Contraceptive Pill?

I m 22, on Levest 28 day contraceptive pill, i have taken my pill on time every day, my last period was less than 2 days long and I barely bled, now I ve just finished my next break week and I ve had no period so by my count I am 7 days late, I only have unprotected sex if I have more than a week of pills left before the end of my pack and most times my boyfriend finishes inside me, I took a pregnancy test this afternoon and it started off saying positive then the positive line faded and the result was negative, is there a chance I am actually pregnant?

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Contraceptive pills like levest 28 are very effective way of preventing unwanted pregnancy. They are more than 99% effective if taken on time every day without skipping ant pill. Therefore your chances of getting pregnant are very rare.
As per pregnancy test you had, reading of pregnancy test should be done 1-2 minutes after addition of urine. Sometimes initially the test goes faint positive & then negative as in your case. This test result is also taken as negative. So do not worry you are not pregnant.
The delayed period you are having must be related to hormonal change, sudden weight change and stress. Your period should follow soon.

Refer to a gynaecologist, if your period is delayed even after a week
Hope this information
