Hallow Dear,
Nuristerate is a progesterone birth control pill. If you are consuming the pills regularly, there is very little possibility of pregnancy. Last time your pregnancy resulted due to dropping few pills irregularly. If this time you are regular, you should not have stress of pregnancy.
As it is, you have not missed your period. So I should say, being worried about pregnancy is much ado bout nothing. However, if at all you miss your period, you have following options to detect pregnancy:
1. 8-10 days after missing a period, perform pregnancy test on the overnight first morning urine sample. These tests done earlier may give false negative results.
2. Beta hCG test is very sensitive and specific. It gives reliable results even few days before missing a period.
3. Ultrasonography done after 10 days of missed period will give you the direct visual evidence of pregnancy status.
4. Clinical examination by Gynaecologist 10 days after missed period.
I am repeating again, if you are so regular in taking Nuristerate pills, you should not be worried about pregnancy. Stress itself may delay the menses.
I hope this helps you.
