Question
"I started my period on the 11th and then had unprotected sex on the 20th where my partner ejaculated inside me. I looked at my pill packet on the 21st and realised the last time I had taken my pill was the 18th so I had missed 2 pills. I took them straight away although one was 2 days late, the other 1 day late. ( however the whole week afte my period and starting a new packet, I had been taking the pill at different times )Me and my partner had unprotected sex on the 22nd and he ejaculated inside me again. What are the chances of me being pregnant?

Answer
There is a chance of you being pregnant but I can't say the percentage. Even if you take the birth control pill exactly perfectly, you can still get pregnant. The pill or any other kind of birth control method is not 100% safe from pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases. Also, there is really no such thing as "protected" sex if you mean condoms. In my opinion, "safe sex" doesn't exist.

So anyway, I would just advise you to see if you miss your period and/or have any developing pregnancy symptoms. Then if you think you should take a pregnancy test, then contact a pregnancy resource center and get a free test. Check out http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP.
