Hi tig,
The exact percentage "chance" you have of being pregnant is unknown, unfortunately. However, the odds of conceiving increase with the more pills you miss in-a-row, and the more times you have unprotected sex.
Your pill is 99% effective at preventing pregnancy when taken consistently and correctly every day, and that percentage decreases with missed pills. If you miss 3 or more pills in-a-row, the instructions usually say to stop taking that pill pack, wait for your "period", then start a new pack after your period.
When is your next period expected (if you take the week-long "inactive pills")?
