Am i pregnant on desogestrel?!

Hi, I have been on desogestrel for about 6 months now! I have been extremely regular on my period the whole time (also was on my 6 years on nexplanon). I am currently 1 week late on my period (yes I know the pill can mess it up etc etc), its the first ever time my flo app is actually saying I'm offically late on my period.
I have been ill all week, was feeling nauseous for 2 days, then got put on antibiotics for tonsillitis & been feeling nauseous still every day (not sure if its the antiotics), also had a metallic taste in my mouth (also not sure if the antibiotics).

I keep getting some cramping as if my period is about to start but there's no sign of it? My boob's are sooo sore! I remember accidentally missing a pill one week (I can't remember if the Wednesday or thursday) and we had sex on the Saturday.
I'm waiting for some pregnancy tests to arrive from amazong some point today but just wondered if anyone else has gotten pregnant on the pill/ any similar experiences? I'm beginning to stress!!

Desogestrel stopped my periods. 2 days of pill taking after the missed day should cover against pregnancy. Depends what day you forgot and what day you had sex though.

The annoying thing is I just cannot remember which day I forgot the pill! Also, the day we had sex would be potentially my day of ovulation (according to the flo app)! I know the pill should technically stop ovulation but I don't know!
The longest wait ever waiting for these tests to arrive 😂

The digital one said not pregnant, but I'm sure I can see a faint line on this one.... 😬

I can’t see a line on that test. What sensitivity was the digital test? Some of them are the same as normal tests as 10miu.

I think if your HCG was high enough to cause such strong symptoms it would be high enough to show very clearly on a test.

If you are pregnant HCG doubles every 2-3 days. So if it was under 10miu now it would be above it in 3-4 days maximum. So you’ll know then at the latest.

Thanks for thr advice, I will test again in a few days ☺️
