Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for trusting Healthcaremagic!
I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.

Chances for getting pregnant is very unlikely in this situation.
As per your description, you had unprotected sex on the 21st day of you cycle(6+7+8) which is not the fertile period.
Generally,ovulation take place on the middle of the cycle(14th day). So day12 to day 18 considered as fertile period and chances for pregnancy is maximum on these days. So try to have unprotected sex during these days of your cycle.

Wishing you good health

Thanks for the followup.

Withdrawal bleeding does not have any effect on your ovulation. So chances for pregnancy is very much low.

Withdrawal bleed is due to the action of hormonal tablets on your uterus.
