Hello and thanks for the query,
It seems that you had unprotected sex. I am not sure about the dose of birth control pills. At least 4 pills [ if using low dose combined pills containing at least 100 mcg of ethinyl estradiol] need to be taken within 12 hours and 4 pills after another 12 hours.
Just check if you took these.
The symptoms you are experiencing may be due to pregnancy, oral contraceptive pills, urine infection or premenstrual syndrome.
A urine pregnancy test will come positive after 7-10 days after the missed period while a blood test will come a week earlier. If you have taken it earlier, wait and repeat the test.
If urinary symptoms persist get a urine examination and you may need some antibiotics if there is an infection. Also drink plenty of water to flush the bacteria.
If the pregnancy test are negative and you continue to have absent periods for more than 2 weeks, see a gynec to look for other causes.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
Feel free to ask any more questions that you may have.
