Hi,
I understand your query.
Actually contraceptive oral pills are started after starting menses ( on 2nd- 5th day of menses ) It seems you have started the pills after getting -ve pregnancy test.. & that's why the confusion.
* oral contraceptive has side effect like bloating of abdomen/ sore breast .. creating the confusion in your mind.
- But never mind, take the pills given to you twice a day for 5 days .. & wait for period to start. It will start within 7 days of stopping the pills. This confirms absence of pregnancy,
Now, you discard old pack of pills . Take a fresh pack & start taking it regularly without a break, at a fixed time each day.. for desired contraception.
-If you are too tense, & You can exclude pregnancy by blood HCG testing. Once it's excluded.. continue the contraceptive pills as directed.
Thanks.
