Pregnant?: The pill works when taken consistently. If you stop and start it, there isn't enough medicine to prevent ovulation and you run the risk of pregnancy. If you have 1-2 negative pregnancy tests, consider just waiting until a natural period and restart, if desired. If still no menses, see your gyn. Good luck.

Restart pill pack: You need to get your cycle back on track. Use a back up for birth control, such as condoms. Get a pregnancy test and repeat in 1 week. Get restarted on a new pack and remember that staying consistent works best for cycles and protection.
