Q: Started Bcp 4 Days Late

I normally start taking a new pack on Friday's after my period. I accidentally took the sugar pills for 4 days, so when I relaized this Tuesday, I took 5 of my "active" pills hoping to catch up. My boyfriend and I had sex 8 times from Friday - tuedsay. What are the chances of me being pregnant since I started my pill pack Tuesday instead of Friday, and took 5 on the same day to catch up? Any help is appreciated...

If you were five days late, there is a chance of being pregnant. You should pick up some Plan B (at any pharmacy if you or anyone you know is over 18, or at planned parenthood if you live in the united states. they'll give it to someone of any age). It will help lower the risk of you becoming pregnant.
