It is possible, first even if you took it correct every day, birth control pills are not 100 percent, people who use birth control pills and condoms every once and a while still get pregnant.

But yes if you missed the pill, when you start back you have less effect for a full month.

So yes it can be possible

How long do I wait to take a test?

If you had sex on August 4th taking a pregnancy test today should be very accurate.

The best to take the test in the morning, using your first urine of the day. This urine is less diluted so the HCG levels (If there are any, it's what pregnancy tests look for) will be more concentrated. If you have to take a test during the day, try to limit your intake of liquids for a few hours beforehand to minimize the possibility that your urine will be diluted.

The pregnancy hormone HCG first appears 6-12 days after ovulation, with 84% of the pregnancies implanting on days 8-10 after ovulation.

If you don't get a positive pregnancy test, it doesn't mean that you are not pregnant. It could be that you ovulated later than you thought or that your implantation took longer than the average.
A test with the sensitivity of 20 mIU can pick up a pregnancy at 6-8 days past ovulation but the percentage of women who get a positive this early is relatively low. A much higher percent of women get a positive result at 9 or 10 days past ovulation.

I think it's time to go to the doctor.

No one on this site can diagnose you, we simply don't have those kinds of powers.

If you've taken 3 tests and they all say negative, then you might not be pregnant, but those tests aren't always accurate, in fact, some women never get a positive using an hpt. See your doctor, at the very least something is going on with you and you should be checked out.

Also realize that no birth control is 100% effective, there are people on this site and that I know personally that have gotten pregnant using 3 different types of birth control. Bottom line, if you don't want a baby, don't have sex.

Good luck.

Please do not post the same question multiple times.

Now, as for testing, are you taking the tests using first morning urine? This is important because this is when the concentration of pregnancy hormone (hCG) is in the highest concentrations.

If you have, and you are continuing to get negatives, it is time to visit your doctor. Although I am an RN in women's health, I cannot diagnose you over the internet. You most likely need to have a blood test done, and possibly an ultrasound to find out what is going on.

There is no form of birth control that is 100% effective. When you don't take your pill like clockwork your chances of becoming pregnant increase.
