Chances Of Pregnany With Irregular Birth Control Pills

Okay so Im taking birth control. On and off for about a year. I have usually always been on time with starting a new pack etc. This time though I didnt get my new pack until 3 days, almost 4 pills late :/ I just took the 3 i missed as soon as I got the pack and then took another one at the time i usually take my pills. Probably wasnt the best idea but I didnt know what else to do. Well, i think on my sheet that came with the pills it said to wait a week if you miss more than 3 so me and my boyfriend did the pull out method for 5 or so days and I guess he messed up countin cause we had unprotected sex less than 7 days later. A couple days after I had some really think, not cottage cheese like, white discharge. I was cramping really bad. I havent been feeling very good since, my immune system seems kinda weak right now and I think Im running a LITTLE fever. I am supposed to get my period next week and im cramping again. I usually dont cramp though. Is there anyway I could be pregnant?

hi,
In the current scenario, from the way you had to take the pills, your menstrual cycle is not protected and your chances of pregnancy are more. Cramps can mean tubal propulsion, urinary infection, an impending period and so on. The presence of thick discharge gives the suspicion of vaginitis and this needs confirmation through clinical examination. Please wait for your next period and get proper investigation if you miss it. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.
