Interesting question! Since you stopped taking your "active pills", you should use a condom with every-single intercourse, unfortunately. Anytime you miss 2 or more pills in-a-row, there is a chance for pregnancy.
When you are using hormonal contraception, you don't actually ovulate (the pills work in many different ways, one of these is by preventing the release of an egg from your ovaries--ovulation), and therefore, when you stop using the pills, you can not know exactly when your body is going to "resume" its natural progression through the cycle to begin ovulating.
