Likelihood of Pregnancy?

Is pregnancy possible?  The first day of my last period is was November 21, 2011.  I started my placebo pills the previous Thursday, November 17, 2011 and took the last on on November 23, 2011.  I didn't realize that I did not have any more pills and the pharmacy here was closed over the holidays.  I wasn't able to start the new pack of pills until Tuesday, November 29.  On Tuesday, I took the Monday pill that morning and the Tuesday pill that evening.  I guess I'm confused because a lot of information states that if ovulation hasn't occurred then the chance of pregnancy is very low.  The reason I ask is because I have been sick for the past few days, abdominal cramps, dizziness, headaches, nausea, very low energy, etc.  It would be too early to tell if these are pregnancy symptoms or could it be because I started the pills late?  I am due to start my placebo pills on Monday, December 19, 2011.  I have been taking to pills but only later in the day for the past few days because I am too sick to my stomach in the mornings.  Thanks.

I'm assuming you had unprotected sex while you didn't have your BC. It is possible you can be, because we don't know when you ovulated. Even taking them perfectly still leaves you at risk for pregnancy. I believe you also stated that you're taking 2 pills each day? Do you normally have to take multiple ones daily? If not, have you checked to make sure it's ok to do that?
