Late taking pill

[worrrried18]

okay so i have been on the pill now for around 4 years.i take it regularly and have never once fell pregnant. now i know i should know this stuff already but im not sure so just a quick one really. I had sex today with my partner and didnt use protection, which would be fine usually apart from that i took my last pill on saturday the 27th for my weeks break to have my period. I realised id ran out of the pill and was supposed to get it today to start retaking, even though today would still be 3 days later than i should have started retaking.i didnt make it to the nurses and now have to wait til thursday to get my next 6month supply. Now my question is, i know that when you have the week break from the pill you are protected, but what about if the break is longer than the week? is there a chance i could catch pregnant for not re starting my pill on time?
Thanks

yh i decided to go and get the morning after pill as i spoke 2 an adviser at my local clinic, she said i could get it free from chemists that are in a scheme in my area offering free emergency contraception. I thought it would be better to take it just incase coz i mean it only takes once doesnt it! thanx for the reply though x

YES. same thing happened to me last month and I called my dr. she said the first week is impt and to skip this month of pills and start over next month. You will need to find another form of bc.
