Could I be pregnant?

My question is rather complex, and I can't think straight myself at the moment, so it would be great if I could get a second brain to think with me. thank you in advance :)
I'm 16 and have been taking the pill for over a year now, and nothing had gone wrong so far until this past week starting from monday -sunday. I ****** up big time due to my stress for the exams.
I feel like the biggest idiot, but there's no point in excusing myself, so I'll just get straigt to the point.

-->Monday: I took a normal hormonal pill
-->Tuesday: I made a mistake and took an "inactive" pill (I think)
-->Wednesday: made the same mistake as on tuesday
-->Thursday: I though I had forgotten to take the pill 2 times and took 2 hormonal pills in the morning, then I forgot to take one that thursday evening >,Friday: figured out about thursday and took that one in the morning. I took a normal one in the evening (later at night started my periods - or started spotting???)
-->Saturday: Had intercourse with my boyfriend, no rubber, and didnt take my hormonal pill. (that night, noticed still little blood loss)
-->Sunday: at noon when I came home took the saturday pill and in the evening took the one for sunday (today, it's sunday. I'm not bleeding, just some pink liquid comming out.)
Only a couple of hours ago I noticed that 2 of the "inactive" pills were missing, explaing why my periods started.

I know that it is not possible to get pregnant during your periods, but I'm scared that because they started at the wrong time and I took hormonal pills at random times and during my period that ovulation might have occured just before I had sex with my boyfriend or something like this - Especially now, that I'm not exactly bleeding but just having some pink fluid comming out, I'm scared that I'm only spotting and still got fertilized yesterday and therefore my bleeding is insignificant.
It sounds idiotic to me now, but I'm panicing so much that I'd like a second opinion. I'm also feeling nausea, but I figured it's because I'm freaking out =P

- I'm not even sure if my description of the days is completely correct but I thought the bleeding would be sufficient info...

Could I be pregnant?

p.s. do you reckon I take the 2 last inactive pills over the comming two days, or should I just start my new packet now I've taken the hormonal ones for over 4 days already?

Thanks again, I'd appreciate your thoughts on it =)

thank you, this is already calming me down a tousand times... Not the answer I wanted to hear of course :P but like one of you said better safe than sorry, now I know what the possibilities are.  I have to wait another month to get my period, it's gonna be a stressful one - own fault. I'll take a pregnancy test as soon as I don't get my next period - unless someone says I should take it now rather than in a month..???
Anyway, thanks again!

First of all you can get pregnat during your period, not very likely but possible. And in your case is not even a real period so it could have happen. When you forget more than 2 pills in a row you have a chance to get pregnant.How many hormonal pills do you have left? I would finish that pack (USE CONDOMS ) wait for your "period" and start your new pack. USE CONDOMS for a week after starting your new pack. On the other hand if you don't get your period take a pregnancy test before starting new pack. I really don;t think you are pregnant but better be safe than sorry. Don't panick but be more carefull taking your pill everyday at about the same time. Use an alarm reminder on your cel or something like that and DO NOT confuse the pills the inactive ones are just so u dont stop and forget.If you forget a pill do like u did take it as soon as u remember but like I said if you forget more than 2 in a row you are not protected (sometimes it varies with the kind of pill so check on that should be in the panflet that comes with the pills). Hope this helps!

you don;t really have to take the inactive pills ever, they are just placebo sugar pills.  when i was on birth control i did not take the inactive pills, i just started a new pack the Sunday that i was suppsoed to.  those pills are just to make sure you stay in track with taking a pill daily but i never forgot to start my new pack.

If you just recently had sex, like within the past week, you would not know yet if you are pregnant.  i would wait a little while longer and take a pregnancy test.  or you could wait til your next period is due and if you don;t get it then take a test.  make sure though that itf you are messing up with your pills that you are using condoms too.  i would suggest using them for at least a month until you start taking your birth control correctly again and get a regular period.
