Yes you could be pregnant, you tested too soon for the test to show a positive. I suggest you wait until your period is due, relax, and if it's late, test again.

Thank you for answering my question I think you are right I tested way too early I was just anxious and nervous I am going to see if it comes in time if I am late I will do another one and call the doctor thank you

As Charlotte mentioned, you tested too soon. While may tests state that you can test up to a week before your missed period, it's not a good idea to do so as you have a higher risk of a false negative.

If you do not take your pill at the same time every day, you risk the ups and downs of your estrogen cycle, therefore making you at higher risk for pregnancy. Also, remember that the pill is not 100% effective. My first two were "pill babies."

You are now playing the waiting game and need to wait until you miss your period. Also remember that it is best to use first morning urine when testing.

Yea, I would retest after you miss your period. It's more accurate then, and even then you still have a chance of being pregnant and getting a false negative. I didn't test positive w/ my daughter until I was 2 weeks late. Good luck!

Thank you I am trying not to worry about it is OK if I am and it is OK if I am not I lost my birthcontrol pill when I punched out one I must have punched out two instead but I figured it might be OK because they were already in my system for a while
