What are the chances I could get pregnant?

I feel ridiculous for asking this kind of thing. But I went off of my birth control about a month ago and my period started right afterwards, this was the week that I would normally have a period. Two weeks later I started having another period but this one lasted for nearly two weeks and ended either last Sunday of Monday. Last Wednesday I had unprotected sex, usually this would've been the week that I ovulate but obviously my cycle is confused at the moment. However, I have had many times where ovulation has for some reason started right after my period has ended. I know you can get pregnant at any point in your cycle but I am just wondering what the chances are that I would get pregnant from last week.

So, you can get pregnant any time you have unprotected sex.  You may not know exactly when you will start ovulating again after taking birth control ( you not ovulate on birth control. The hormones prevent that  and you only have any bleeding because during the 'off week/sugar pill week' hormones aren't going in so you will have what looks like a period. It's really only spotting as you never ovulated).  It normally doesn't start up immediately though (ovulation).  However, women are irregular. You probably had the same kind of spotting you get during the off week of pills initially. And your hormones are normalizing after being manipulated by the pill.  Are you pregnant? Probably not.  However, going back to my first statement, any time you have unprotected sex and are not using birth control, you are risking pregnancy. Wait 2.5 weeks after your last unprotected sex and take a pregnancy test.  I'd fully expect it to be negative but you have to rule it out. Right after coming off the pill is a time in which your cycle is less predictable for what is really happening. So, use a condom until you have regular periods again.
