What are goals?: It is ok not to have a period on birth control. Many brands are designed that way. If you are bleeding at irregular times this is called breakthrough bleeding. It is frustrating but not harmful. If you are now having sex while not on birth control it is highly likely that you will end up pregnant eventually. If this is not your goal consider restarting birth control. Many methods are available.

Yes: It may be too early for a reliable result from a home pregnancy test. Suggest repeating the test in 2 weeks if no period or abnormal looking period.

Try again: Try repeating the pregnancy test in one week. They usually become positive about a week after the expected period.
