I went to Europe from May 3rd until the 13th. I got my period at the end of the trip, it was only a few days long. I know that traveling can mess up your cycle.I had unprotected sex around May 20th, 21st, 22nd, but I\\\'m not really sure which day. I\\\'ve been on Loestrin 24 for over 6 months. I still haven\\\'t gotten my period ): I took two tests two weeks ago and they both said negative...could I be pregnant?

Birth Control Answer A13616
Hello,
Thanks for joining me on ehealthforum.
If you have been regular with your pills and haven’t missed any of them, chances of pregnancy are less.
However women are known to get pregnant while being on the contraceptive pills. Sometimes urine pregnancy tests do come as negative in early pregnancy due to less concentration of pregnancy hormone (HCG) in the urine.
Discuss with your healthcare provider/gynecologist about getting a blood beta HCG level test to confirm your pregnancy OR repeat your urine pregnancy test after 1 week or 10 days.
Take care.
