definitely take a pregnancy test, on the pill packets it will tell you what happens when you miss a day, it says to wear a condom...

I'm wondering though if having unprotected sex before I even started a new pack is somehow worse than if I had had a couple of weeks of hormones in me and then missed one.
Yes, I know what it says in the pill packets but my husband and I were drunk when we had the sex first of all, and he kind of refuses to wear condoms most of the time *sigh*

oh I am sorry about that
I have been in the same situation, I did the same thing but I was ok :)No pregnancy or anything, I think you will be alright.

Most pill packs have a 7 day break because it is safe; doctors and biochemists are very certain that ovulation will not happen in those 7 days, and it fits well with your pill-taking routine. Of course, studies like this have shown that one could extend their pill-free interval to even 10 days and not experience ovulation. It just seems to doctors to simply be "safer" to stick to 7 days.

With that being said, there is a very slim scientific chance that you are pregnant or that you even ovulated at all. Remember, birth control pills work by not only suppressing ovulation, but also by thickening the cervical mucus to prevent an egg from implanting in the uterus. It is generally pretty difficult to get pregnant on the pill if you take it as directed since there are so many things the pill does to prevent pregnancy from occuring.

According to science, you should be fine. Good luck!

I know what you mean i was on this pill for 9 months i was fine for the first 6 months (was very good never forgot lol)But for the last 3 months i was taking it irratically missing one here and there and yes i did get pregnant but i lost it unfortunately.I understand that it was silly of me to keep taking it when i clearly couldnt remember and i have very much learned my lesson.When you had your period that was because you were on your 7 day break from the pill yes? I just wanted to let you know that you where still protected by the pill for those 7 days and missing 1 pill doesnt ussually end in pregnancy.Although your hormones would have been low they should still have been high enough to keep you protected.But of course there are no guarantees so keep an eye out for signs of pregnancy.(Also when i fell pregnant on the pill i had what i thought was my period but it wasnt)So just keep an eye out for growing sore breasts and major eating lol oh yes and tiredness.If your really worried do a test in 4 or 5 weeks put your mind at rest but i would say you shouldnt be pregnant good luck
