Hi,
Contraceptive pills need to be taken regularly as directed taken at fixed time of the day. In case you have taken them irregularly and have doubled the dose to finish the pack in time. There is possibility of conception. Pregnancy can be diagnosed or excluded by home pregnancy test after 8 days delay in periods. Please consult your doctor with test report.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
