you can not be pregnant by missing last dose

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query
If you have missed your last tablet then nothing to be worried as you are already in safe zone.
However you can have your period delayed due to stress & anxiety.
Wait for one week & if still not getting period consult your Gynaecologist.
Take care

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome back
As you have taken medicine for short duration you can have equally chances of conception as of females without contraceptive pills.

Severe headache can be due to stress or increased blood pressure so get your examination done
