Question
A week ago (Sunday) I started my third week of my pill pack. However, I
carelessly didn't take the next 6 pills in the pack. I got a light period and then
Saturday which was the night of my 6th missed pill, I had unprotected sex.
Could I get pregnant?

Answer
Hi Julia,
Having unprotected sex on no birth control means you could get pregnant.  I'd wait 2 weeks from when you had sex and get a pregnancy test.  Unless you're super-fertile it's not likely that you're pregnant, but certainly possible.  Until you know for sure it would be better to use another form of birth control and wait for a normal period before restarting the pill.
