No, there is not a "huge" chance that you could be pregnant, but there is a chance. You should be using a condom for the next 7 days after you missed pills, but since you had sex without a condom after you completed your "make up" pills from doubling-up, then you likely had enough hormones in your body to prevent a pregnancy, or to prevent a fertilized egg from implanting. Please know: this is an educated guess, and not a guarantee (women's bodies are not like clockwork, so the only real way to know is with a missed period). The reason for using alternate birth control is it can take up to 7 days for your pills to be back up to their 99% effectiveness rate.
