A member asked:
If i don't take a week break from birth control and run two packs one after another, if i do a pregnancy test to make sure will it still be accurate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: If you are taking the pills daily and don't take a week break and just start another pack there is no need for a pregnancy test.
