Hi llou86,
Thanks for your question. Anytime you miss several birth control pills (BCP) and have unprotected sex, you have an increased chance of pregnancy. Have you gotten back on track with your pills by now? If you aren't, these articles may help explain what to do: Missing Birth Control Pills and Concerned About Pregnancy: Q&A and and Oops! Missed Birth Control Pill Advocacy Sheet
Additionally, your period may not show up exactly when you expect it to since you got off track with your pills. If it shows up (even if it's different from normal or lasts longer than a few hours), you're not pregnant. Wait a few days if it ends up being late this month, then you can take a pregnancy test if it is a "no-show" to see if you ended up getting pregnant. If it's positive, at that time, you can stop taking your pills, and start taking a pre-natal vitamin. Taking pills this month will not affect any possible pregnancy--you can just stop taking them if you find out you're pregnant. Hope that makes sense.
Good luck and let us know how you're doing.
