Brief Answer:
dont worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,

If all your pregnancy tests are negative it is very unlikely that you are pregnant.

Moreover you seem to have missed the pill in the last week of your pack, that means it is unlikely to have caused pregnancy.

I would advise you to wait for 2 more weeks for your period.

Please use a barrier method of contraception till then.
Repeat the urine pregnancy test 2 weeks from now and if still negative you can take tab. Primulot N for three days to get your period .

And start a fresh pack of pills from the first day of that period.

Hope this helps.
