Not likely: On birth control pills... means not pregnant, regardless of whether one takes or skips the inactive pills, as along as a new pack is started at the appropriate time and the active pills are taken at about the same time each day. "Protected sex" means not pregnant. "Preg test negative" after missing a period for 5 days means not pregnant. With 3 things meaning not pregnant, pregnancy is unlikely.

From what you described it is highly unlikely that you are pregnant. If you have any doubt, get a blood test for HCG level on 7-10 days.

No: If the test was negative, you are not pregnant. Do not stop your pills, or you will cause more problems with your cycle.
