Did I get pregnant if my period hasn't come after taking birth control pills?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello, my boyfriend and I feel that we are still young and don't want to have children so early, so we have been taking birth control pills. But now it seems like my period hasn't come yet, and I'm a bit worried. Hello, if you haven't had your period after taking birth control pills, could it be that you're pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

If you are taking short-term birth control pills and taking them regularly every day, you should absolutely not get pregnant. On the other hand, if you haven't taken the birth control pills on time or have experienced missed doses and discontinuation again, it is very easy to get pregnant. If you're not sure, you can buy a pregnancy test kit or early pregnancy test strip from a pharmacy to do a urine test. If the test result shows a clear negative result, it means you're not pregnant.
