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?

Hello Anonymous,

Wait and see if you have bleeding. If not, test and reach out to your gynecologist.

If he did not ejaculate, there may not have been any risk.

Hello. I skipped a pill and I'm not sure when it was but I saw on my phone reminder that a pill was skipped and I checked my pack and indeed I skipped. I have unprotected sex. Yesterday was my last day of the pack so I took my last pill and the one I skipped at an unknown day. Could I get pregnant?

Hello,
I missed the last 3 pills in week three of my packet(combined pills). I only made up with one pill, had intercourse, and did not use a back up method. I did not try to take the remained of that packs pills, instead I started a new pack on Sunday. I've been taking those pills, but got behind one day, but no intercourse. Was this correct and what are the chances that I could become pregnant?
Thank you!

Hi in on sprintec. My husband and I had unprotected sex Wednesday. I forgot to pack my pills when we went out of town so I didn't take them Friday and Saturday. Saturday we had unprotected sex (both times he came in me). Sunday morning I started break through bleeding which has gone into Monday. Could I still get pregnant?

Hello Anonymous,

The best advice I can give you is to contact your gynecologist. The brownish spotting might be the result of your body readjusting from the noristerat injection to Yaz, and having a period again after seven years.

Had unprotected sex on saturday, Sunday we had sex, but we used a spermicide. I've been busy and I missed Sunday and Mondays pills.I didnt notice until I went to take my Tuesday pill. I took tuesday and because I've been so busy missed again on Wednesday. But I took Thursday through saturday and started my placebo pill on Sunday. Its been over a week since I expected a period but three at home pregnancy tests taken over this week have said negative. Am I pregnant?

Hi. I'm on my last week of pills before the placebo pills. I've been taking them at the same time up so silently during the month until maybe Thursday. With the holiday I got my days mixed. I realized today (Monday) that I'm a day off and had unprotected sex. Not sure what day I missed a pill, so I have one extra. What to do?
