I am a 26-year-old female who has been on birth control pills for nearly 10 years. Recently, my periods have become heavier and more painful, and this month I have experienced light spotting but no full period. I am under significant stress due to recent life changes and a loss.

I am not vigilant with my birth control and often miss doses. I took Ella as emergency contraception after unprotected sex, but I'm still concerned about pregnancy. Should I start my next set of birth control pills, and is there a risk of pregnancy despite taking Ella?

Can you explain why a woman with a history of negative Pap smear results might develop cervical cancer within two years, and what the chances are of having a cancerous growth if both Pap and HPV tests are negative?
