Forgot to take the pills... when should I test?

Hi there. I started the pill on May 3rd. Before that, I just took the pill regularly.
Now I have a little problem: I forgot the pill on May 12th, and I had sex with my boyfriend on May 9th and 15th. I also forgot the pill yesterday
When is the best time to take a test?
Thanks for the answer,
Tinie.

    Nope. Just stop for a week after this strip and see what happens. If nothing happens, test. If something does happen, you know enough.

    Other contraception isn't a bad plan either.

    If you forget to take the pill once during the second week, there’s generally no big deal. After all, you’ve already been taking it for a week. If you want to be sure you’re not pregnant, you could take a test during your break week. Since you’re on the pill, you might still get some withdrawal bleeding even if you are pregnant.
    Make sure you take all the pills now. You can also skip the break week and keep taking them. You can still take a test in a few weeks.

    Okay, so just finish these last few days normally, and during the pill-free week I can test, and if not, test again the following week.
    I forgot 2 pills.
    So blood tests won't say anything during the pill-free week... okay, thanks for the info.
    Thanks, Moedertjuh!
