Birth control Sunday start

I have been taking birth control for about 3 years now. I was supposed to start a new pack on Tuesday and also got my period that day too. Because of some miscommunication with the insurance company I wasn't able to get a new pack till Sunday, Which worked out cuz then I just did a sunday start on my pack.

My question is I know it takes 7 days to take effect, but whenever my bf and I have sex he withdrawals before he ejaculates and have never ejaculated in me. If we have sex on the 6th day of my pack, and he withdrawals what are the chances of me actually getting pregnant?  Because I have heard stories of girls who got pregnant from pre-***

I understand nothing is 100% effective except not having sex, but aren't my chances lower of getting pregnant compared to women who allow men to ejaculate in them when on the pill?

No matter what day you have sex on, some women can get pregnant on the pill. I would say your fine and you don't have anything to worry about. It's rare to get pregnant on the pill....but it is not 100% effective, actually no birth control is.
