General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Well, looking at the description, it appears that you have taken the pill at the right time on both occasions. Hence, it should have offered protection.
Spotting, abdominal pain and breast tenderness are symptoms due to side effects of the drug.
Since you got a faint line in pregnancy test, it appears that you are worried.
Before jumping into any sort of conclusion, try to understand this.
You should get your periods within 3 weeks of consumption of last pill. If not, you need to seek medical attention immediately.
In case it doesn't, get a blood HCG levels done and trans-vaginal ultrasound (TVS) done. Contact Gynecologist for further evaluation and management.
