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 came off the pill at the end of a packet and had the break like normal, then didn't take any of that packet other than the last 9 and have been having regular unprotected sex since, what are my chances of getting pregnant?

Hello

I have a question. I have been on Yaz for three years.I always take my pill on time in the mornings but this month I took one pill about 12 hours late.The following day i continued as usual and a few days later forgot AGAIN and took it about 4 hours late. I did not have any sexual intercourse within thw first three weeks of my cycle (meaning the time i missed my pills) but had intercourse on the day i took my last active pill (friday).My period usually starts on the Sunday but when it didn't start I panicked and drank the morning after pill on yhe Monday (60 hours after). I have still not had my period and am worried that i might be pregnant? What are the chances?

Hello,
I had sex on Wednesday, and forgot to take the pill on Saturday - I ended up taking it but it was 19 hours late. I'm not sure exactly where I am in my cycle as I skipped the sugar pills in my last pack, I am currently in the first week on my new packet (but since I skipped the sugar pill week not sure if that puts me at wk2 in my cycle?), Could I get pregnant? I'm particularly concerned as if I am I don't want to harm the baby by continuing to take the pill... how soon can I tell? What is the likelyhood of being pregnant in this situation? Thanks.
