hello and welcome to HCM.

Missing a single pill and then taking it as soon as you remember will not have any effect on the menstrual cycle. Also it does not increase the chances of failure of contraception unless the pill was missed for more than a day.

A urine test will come positive only after 7-10 days after the missed period. So please see if you have taken the tests too early. If yes, then repeat it after 10 days from the missed period. If it is still negative, other causes like hormonal disturbances and ovarian cysts must be evaluated. For that you will need to visit a gynecologist and get examined.

Hope this was helpful.
Feel free to ask any further queries and I will be happy to help.
Thanks for using HCM.
Have a good day.
