Suggest Treatment For Side Effects Of Lo Loestrin Fe

I was on lo loestrin fe for about 10 days off and on because I either forgot, or I just couldn t take the side effects any longer. I got my period shortly after of course (2 weeks before it was due) that was last month. The husband and I have had unprotected sex, and I m 4 days late. But on the first day I took a cheap pregnancy test and it was negative. Is this normal after such a short time on the pill, or should I test again?

Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
Irregular in take of contraceptive pills may not always produce good results.Failure rate in such cases is very high.However a negative pregnancy test may exclude pregnancy if with a valid test kit no matter the price.The delay in period could as well be caused by the pills.That is a well described side effect.Just stay calm and wait for your menses.A pregnancy test will always come positive by the time you miss your period.You may however see a professional for the test to be reassured.
Hope this will help
Best regards
