If : If you have had 2 periods and a negative pregnancy test, chances are you are not pregnant. It is not uncommon for a woman to experience breakthrough bleeding/spotting after missing birth control pills.

HPT: Take a home pregnancy test. Once you start missing a number of your oral contraceptive doses, it is no longer effective at preventing pregnancy.
