Please can someone help with some questions? I missed the last 4 days off last months pill and had unprotected sex; however I got my period a couple of days later. Then started my next months packet of pills, and had unprotected sex again (only one pill taken). Someone recently told me that there is a higher risk of you falling pregnant if you miss your beginning and end of the month pills. Is this true? And is there still a change that I could be pregnant? I am unsure of when the ovum is released if pills are missed. Feeling a bit stupid at the moment, as I am a science teacher and I should know the answer to these question. Although a little excited at the thought that I might be.
