My last period was two weeks long because I immediately started taking the new pack even though I shouldn't have; I basically skipped my period. I don't have the placebo pills, so I have a 7 day break in between packets. I got my period while still taking the pill, but I continued to take it normally. Then, I got mixed up on the days and ending up taking a pill 3-4 days early. This pill was also the last pill in the packet, so the one I should be taking at the very end. I then just stopped taking them and started back up normally with the FIRST pill on the correct day. I've been taking them correctly now for five days, but had unprotected sex last night. Is there a risk of pregnancy? If so, how big is the risk? I don't have health insurance and really can't afford the morning after pill..So please help me out!

I would say that your risk is very minimal as long as you keep taking them normally.
If I understand what you did correctly, I don't think you have any real risk at all. -
After reading it again, the only part that seems unclear to me is what I did after my last period. I completely took all of my pills and then had my 7 day break. In the 7 day break, I accidentally took the LAST pill 3 days early, mistaking it to be the right day. Then I completely stopped taking the pill and then started taking it again on the correct day. So i basically started on the wrong day (and took the wrong pill), stopped, and then started 3-4 days later.Comment

If you were taking your pill correctly in the first place, you were already NOT ovulating. And as long as you don't take more than a 7 day break from your pills, you will continue to not ovulate.
Putting you at the exact same risk you were at every normal month on the pill: 1%. Take a deep breath

Whaaaat a relief. I was just afraid that I had messed up my hormones because I was stopping and starting. Thank you so much!Comment
