I have been on birth control for multiple months, I finished my period around Saturday or Sunday and didn't pick up my new pack from the pharmacy until Wednesday and took it then. it is not Saturday and I had unprotected sex. is there a chance I can get pregnant??

Hello. Thank you for writing.

Did you make up the pills you missed? There is some increased risk if you go without taking the pill for seven or more days in a row. This could happen if you forget to start a new pack on time (i.e. right after the seven days of placebo you take during your period) or if you forget to take the last few pills in your pack.
