Q: Period, Pregnancy, And the Pill?

Hi everyone, i'm new here. Here's my situation: i've been on ortho-cyclen (sunday start) for 5 years, with no problems, and until recently had never missed a pill. Two packs ago, I missed the last active pill b/c I was out of town. So I only took 20 active pills. I hadn't had sex during that pack, and I had a regular period during the pill-free week. Since I missed the last active pill, I started the next pack one day early, so I was only off the pills for seven days.
My question is, could I have ovulated from missing the last active pill, even tho the pill-free interval was still seven days? I had unprotected sex on days three and fifteen of the next pack. I'm concerned about day three. If I had ovulated from missing that last pill, when would it have happened, and could I have gotten pregnant?
I have since finished that pack, and I got my period today. It seems normal, not light or anything, but i've heard you can have your period while pregnant so i'm still a little scared. Is it common to get a period after getting pregnant on the pill? Or can I relax now and stop worrying? I'd really appreciate any advice. Thanks!

I have no idea what you mean by all those day thirteens. That confuses me, but as far as I know, {which I could be wrong} I doubt you could get pregnant/ovulate. I'd go to the doc and ask him/her about it.
Hope I help.
