What Should I Do About Missing My Period After Changing The Timing I Take My Birth Control Pills?

So I’ve missed my period for this month and I’m taking birth control pills everyday the difference is I changed it up on the time from 10 to 7 in the morning. Before nothing felt good down there it stayed dry and very uncomfortable during sex. I took a pregnancy test and they came back negative.

Hi,

Actually, birth control pills are to be taken regularly at same time of day. Change in timing of intake of pills can disturb its efficacy. There is possibility of conception in such case. Please finish the present strip at the time you have adopted. Wait for periods to come after stopping the pills. You should have them within 8 days.

In case you have periods, well and good. Start with new pack of contraceptive and be regular in taking pills hence forth. In case you don't have periods and there is delay of 8 days, please go for home pregnancy test. If it's positive, you need termination of pregnancy for contraceptive pills are hazardous for pregnancy.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
