I have occassionaly missed taking my birth control pills. Last mentral cycle was the last week of April. I have not started my period yet. Tried over the counter pregnancy test, results were negative (tried test after 2 weeks of missing my cycle). Went to the dr and did a blood test and still negative. I'm not vomiting but my appeite has increased. And just turned 30. Please help very concerned.

 

Optional Information:
Female , Age: 30

Already Tried:
At first birth control pills. Now nothing. Waiting to start menstral cycle, then will go back on pills per my dr's instructions. Also to use condoms but we are using the withdrawal method.

Since both the urine and blood test are very sensitive in picking up pregnancy, I would not be too much worried about that possibility.
The most likely cause would be any kind of a viral infection / unusual stress that you may have suffered after the last cycle. I believe that an Ob/Gy examination should put your mind at rest... and I personally do not think that you should worry about pregnancy at the present time.
Of course needless to say it would be preferable for you to take the pills regularly...
