Q: Junel missed pill

I am on junel (the generic brand of bc for Loestrin Fe 1/20). Last month my husband and I went on vacation during christmas time (Dec. 23rd, 24th and 25th) not realizing that I had left my birth control home. So I missed the first three days of the third week of active pills. Doing this made my period come early. When we got back from vacation I continued taking my pills like normal and my period stopped. I also skipped my placebo pills the next week and started a new pack of bc) but we continued having sex w/out any other form of protection. That same week (New Years Eve) with all the celebration I totally forgot to take a pill. Up until now I have continued taking my pills but there were a few times that I took them extremely late and one day somewhere along the line that I missed another pill!! We have sex on a pretty regular basis... Now tomorrow is going to be the first day of my placebo pills....usually I have a little breakthrough bleeding the week before my pills but I didn't this time....I know no one can possibly know if I'm pregnant or not...but do you think the timing of my missed pills would have made me ovulate or do you think I was protected? Do you think that the fact I had no breakthrough bleeding this week like normal could possibly mean a pregnancy? I have had what you could consider early pregnancy signs but I also know that those can be because of missed pills or PMS.....I know all I have to do is wait for a missed period...which would usually be in a couple days from now but I'm impatient!! haha Any thoughts or similar experiences? Do you think there's a good or bad chancd of being pregnant!?

You were unprotected for ten days. You were unprotected the 3 days that you missed your pills, and the seven days after that. After missing pills, it takes 7 full days of taking pills to fix your schedule again. Since you didn't use condoms or any other forms of protection, it is possible that you are pregnant. Wait until you are further into your placebo pills and see if you get a period. If not, go take a test.
