What Causes Delayed Periods After Taking Lo Loestrin?

Me and my boyfriend have been having unprotected sex for a few months. I just started my birth control, lo loestrin fe, about a week ago. Still have not got my period, so I got a home pregnancy test. It shows positive. Would just starting my birth control affect the accuracy of this test?

Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic.
I have gone through your query.
I think I have understood your concern, I will try to suggest you the best possible treatment options.
1] I want to confirm that have you started the pills for the first time and have you started from day 2 of the cycle and were you taking them regularly, on daily basis. Taking pills as such do not have any effect on the result of urine test.
Please confirm if you have started pills correctly.
2] As your home pregnancy test is positive, I will suggest to get USG done; to know exact period of gestation.
3] Even if you do not wish to continue the pregnancy, you can opt for medical method to terminate pregnancy till 9 weeks of gestation.
I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you good health.
