Missed period on birth control
I am sexually active. Started using birth control (Femilon tab) on 29th of march. I have used birth control pills before as well and got the period on 3rd day after completing 21days. This time finished the 21 days on 17th of april but didn't get periods till now. Today is the 5th day after completion of the pack. I missed one pill in the middle but took it the next morning as soon as i remembered. I want to stop taking the pill, just wanted to use it for 1 month. Is there anything to worry? Should i stop using the pill or should i take it for another month? Is there any chance of pregnancy? If so when should i take UPT test?

UPT should be done 3 weeks after the last sexual act. Femilon does act as a contraceptive too. Wait for 3-4 days more u ll get your periods. Since history of missing pills is also there better to do UPT if periods doesn't come in next 3-4 days
