8-day delay in menstruation and negative pregnancy test. What should I do?

If you are experiencing a delay of 8 days in your menstruation cycle and have received a negative pregnancy test, you should consider continuing to take your oral contraceptive as directed. It is important to avoid stopping the contraception for more than 7 days to prevent the risk of unintended pregnancy. If your next cycle still does not arrive after stopping the pill, it may be a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider.
