could I get pregnant?

I'm taking Ortho-Tri-Cyclen birth control pills and I am on week 3. I missed two pills in a row on Thursday and Friday (im a Sunday Starter). I realized I missed 2 pills on Saturday and took one on Saturday. I read the instructions for missed pills and threw out the rest of the pack and will start a new one today (Sunday). I had unprotected sex Thursday night (first day of missed pill). I also woke up to heavy bleeding this morning. Could I get pregnant?

Yes there is a chance, thats how I got pregnant the second time and I had only missed one. But just don't worry and just wait for your period to come and if it doesn't then just take a test. Try not to stress yourself out over all of it.

Anytime you miss a pill and have unprotected sex can result in you getting pregnant. If you miss your period you should test.
