First Response test- accurate?
I am on the oral contraception Lo Loestrin Fe and I just started my placebo pills of my second pack yesterday. I was on this BC last year for 3 months then got off because of breakthrough bleeding constantly- tried Microgestin and it was awful so I decided to try this pill again.
I've bleed quite a bit on this pill with spotting. My last period was from Feb 4-10th. Then I had unprotected sex (pull out method) on Feb 11th and 14th. I then had breakthrough bleeding- more like a period- from Feb 19-25. I had unprotected sex (pull out method) on Feb 28th and March 1st. I then had spotting March 3rd-6th.
I have taken every single pill, and I have only been late by about 1 to 3 hours taking maybe 5 pills.
As of yesterday I was supposed to start my period and I thought, what the hell, I'll just take a test. So I took a First Response pregnancy test and it was a clear negative. I have taken these tests before and they have all been accurate for me- so how accurate do you think this one is? What's the chance it could it be a false negative? I realize any time you have unprotected sex there is a chance, but I have been a pretty good pill taker and the the most recent incident was pretty late in my cycle.. I would appreciate some help! Thanks!

Tests are fairly accurate. But only being one day late like you said maybe your hcg levels aren't high enough to detect on a test although you can test 5 days before your missed period. I say if you still haven't gotten your period in a week or two then test again or call your doctor
I took a first response and it said positive. My period wasnt even late. Went to planned parenthood they told me i was not pregnant. Then I got a blood test and I am pregnant. First Response was more accurate than the clinic.
