What To Do As I Have Messed Up Taking My Birth Control Pills?

I messed up on taking my birth control this month. I should have had my period by now and started a new pack, however that has not happened. I took a test a couple of weeks and it was negative. The last couple of days, I have noticed that my feet are swollen (edema) and my blood pressure seems elevated. what to do?

Hello,
I have gone through the query and understood your concern. In the current scenario, you need a proper clinical evaluation, a test for pregnancy followed by a sonogram of the pelvis preferably in the trans-vaginal route to know the status of the pelvic organs to help plan further management. You should also check the blood pressure, get urinalysis and blood counts. It is possible that your hormone levels are disturbed due to the faulty intake of the pills and hence, your cycle is likely to have become unsafe. Hope this helps.
