Can you get pregnant from missing pills after unprotected sex?

I am a first day starter and missed the first pill of my pack (started a day late) I take Yaz. according to the pill pack, it says missing only one in the first week requires no back up protection. At the end of that first week (The day after the last day of withdrawal bleeding) I had unprotected sex, though my partner withdrew. On Tuesday and Wednesday (the sex was on sunday) I missed my pills, and doubled up on Thursday and Friday. What are the chances of pregancy?

I have been on the pill for over a year, i take it every day. two weeks ago i had unprotected sex on a friday of my second week, saturday didnt have my pills with me so Sunday morning I took Saturday and Sunday pill on time. It is now wednesday night of my period week and i haven't gotten my period yet. It normally comes between tuesday and wednesday night when I am asleep but hasn't yet. What are the chances I am pregnant?

Hi,

My last period was on September 10, and I missed my 8th pill last September 17 and had unprotected sex on that night, will I get pregnant?

Hi, i am on the combined pill and had sex on the Monday, the following Sunday i stopped my pills (mid pack due to cramps etc...3rd pack in a row though) and had a week break. What are my chances of being pregnant?

I took my pill on Tue around 6:00 pm (3rd pill of the first week) and had unprotected sex that night. I missed my pill on Wed, but took my missed pill as soon as I remembered on Thurs at 9:00 am. I made up for my missed pill in about 16 hours, definitely less than 24 hours and took my regular scheduled pill at the same time at 6:00pm on Thursday so that I ended up taking two pills in one day. What are my chances of getting pregnant?

I have been on birth control (Sprintec) for almost a year. Last week I forgot to take my pill Wednesday, so I took it about 12 hours late. I had sex on Saturday night, took my pill on Sunday (on time) but then I missed the pills Monday and Tuesday so I doubled up on Wednesday and Thursday (today). The pills I missed were from the second row of the pack. What are my chances of being pregnant?

I have been on birthcontrol for two years. I missed my third pill in week#1, but took it before 24 hrs and continued taking my pills. I'm concerned because I had intercourse the night that I missed my pill. What are my chances of being pregnant?

I just recently started using Yaz and had unprotected sex at day 6, though my boyfriend pulled out. I realize the packet recommended two weeks before sex upon starting to use it and a minimum of seven days before unprotected sex if coming off another pill. I haven't been on the pill in ages so I should have waited around 14 days. I took the day 6 pill right after having sex since it was the morning of the sixth day and I want to know how likely it is I may fall pregnant.
