Hallow Dear,

Since you have missed your contraceptive pills for about ten days or more, the date of conception cannot be precisely predicted. May be, even if you are pregnant, you could have performed pregnancy test on urine too early. Ideally pregnancy test on urine gives reliable results about ten days after missed period or three weeks after conception.

You have another option to go for Beta hCG test. These tests are very sensitive and give reliable results even few days before missing a period. Else, you may repeat pregnancy test on overnight morning first urine sample after about a week which wil give you reliable results.

It is likely that due to the irregularity in your pills, the menses regularity also is disturbed. If your reliable pregnancy test confirms that you are not pregnant, you may take Tab. Deviry for five days, you should get subsequent withdrawal bleeding within 4-7 days.

I hope this helps you.
