Okay so, being on your period(2nd day),
while finishing up your first birth
control pack(taking sugar pills) and
having unprotected sex.
High chance of pregnancy?

Not at all. You are completely protected
during your period week, as long as you
have taken all the pills correctly and
start taking them again on time.
what about if you miss a day sometime
before you period but take it the next
day, or what if you have the flu and get
sick, could that cause a risk of getting
pregnant?

If you miss one pill for whatever reason,
and take it as soon as you remember (like
the instructions say) you are still
protected from pregnancy. So that means if
you forget a pill and take it the next day
(with that day's pill) or even throw up
and think you might have thrown the pill
up, as long as it only happens once within
a week, you should still be protected.
If you miss multiple pills within a week
or throw up a lot (within a few hours of
taking your pill, multiple days in a row)
then your protection is compromised and
you should use back up protection for
seven days.

Oh, and I should say, seven days means
seven days of taking your pill correctly
each day, and not the placebo pills. So if
the seven day waiting period falls on the
placebo pills, (period week) I'd use
protection (condoms or something) until
after the first week of real pills. Does
that make sense?
