Missed 3 pills, then had unprotected sex. Chances of pregnancy?

I misplaced my pack of birth control pills because I am currently moving. So this will be the 3rd pill I have missed     (but I was in the middle of my pack). I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend last night AND this morning. I also had a little light bleeding this afternoon (I'm assuming it was from not taking my pill for those few days).
Anyway, I was just wondering if I could be pregnant. I have heard that it's hard to get pregnant after you've been on the pill for a long time, and I've been taking it for 7 years.

So..last time I had sex which was about 2-3 weeks ago..I had missed two pills. For the past two days I have been sick depending on what I eat and drink Sunday night I had threw up pizza and Monday I threw up what looked like the milk shake I had drank earlier that day, I have never had this problem before, but also I didn't think I would get pregnant I guess is kinda silly though anyone could get pregnant. Iv been on the pill for about 4-5 weeks now, but could I be pregnant?

So.. Im Just Wondering, i Went Over to My Boyfriends the Weekend Just Gone and i Took My Pill on Friday, Forgot it Saturday, Sunday and Monday and Had Unprotected Sex and iv Only Just Realised This Morning that i'd Forgotten it. i Know its way to Early to Know But Is there Any Chance at All that i Have Conceived? Plus i Started Bleeding this Morning and Now its Really Light. But i Was also On Last Week for 4 Days and Came off Friday Night so Im Not sure if the Bleeding is Because iv Missed My Pill For days..

Hi girls,

I have a question and was wondering if anyone had been in the same boat at all.
SO, I was overseas in January and on Diane-35. My partner and i went to liverpool and i forgot my packet at his parents house where we were staying. Anyways so i missed 4 pills from the 6th-9th January and got my breakthrough bleed on the 10th-11th. Because we had intercourse while we were away i was scared of being pregnant so i didnt continue taking the pill. Then 2 weeks 4 days later i stupidly decided to begin a new pill pack, when i still hadn't had my period.
Since then I've had extremely sore breasts but especially my nipples which are starting to get better, I have also become very bloated. The last week or so i have been having some vaginal discharge that is clear and somes a very light yellow lotiony colour, there is no odour, itchyness, etc at all.

So my question is does anyone think i may be pregnant i did a home test a week ago which was negative but just cant relax about it. i have a doctors app. on monday.

Thanks :)

ps. i know i was very irresponsible with the pill it was a once off!

i accidentally skipped 3 pills. when i seen on the fourth day i skipped 3 i took all 4 at the same time. i have been taking the pills everyday as told to do from instructions. i had my period a week and a half later and was normal. then had unprotected sex the week after my period was over but have been taking every pill since that sunday when im supposed to start a new pack. this happened a month ago and i am on my period at the moment but it isnt as heavy. still having normal feeling cramps. could the lightness be from skipping 3 pills then taking them together.. like if its my body having a period but its different because of the effects the medication did to my body? or is there a chamce that im pregnant? and what are the signs of pregnancy in first month?

What are you thinking, missing 3 pills and having unprotected sex?  Of course you could get pregnant.  No one can tell you the "chances", but you have certainly exposed yourself to some chance of unplanned pregnancy.  

Hope it all works out for you.  Your pill pack should have come with instructions as to what to do when you miss pills.  It would have been better to have protected yourself, if you don't want to conceive.  Even if you've been on the pill for 7 years, you can still get pregnant if you miss pills.

I believe the pill stops you from ovulating. Since you have taken pills for 7 years, you shouldnt have a problem. But because it was in the middle of the pack, I guess there is a chance. They say when you miss 3 or more to throw out that pack, have your period and start a new one. Just wait and see if you get your period and it is normal. If it is really light, or not there- I would take a test. Best of luck!!
