Not Uncommon: There are some women who may eventually stop menstruating on OCPs, especially if they have been on them for a period of time. Or, if they have some conditions like polycystic ovarian syndrome. If 3 pregnancy tests are negative, you are not likely to be pregnant. As long as you take your BCP as directed, there should be nothing to worry about.

SEE THE DOCTOR: Having blood in the urine is not normal. Check a quantitative pregnancy test(more specific than home tests).

Same day: You can wait longer but a serum (blood) test is reliable even a day or two before the expected missed period.
