Hi Ashley,
When was your last menstrual period?
The first week and the last 8 days of your menstrual cycle are safe.
If you have missed the pills and had sex in those days then you need not worry. You will not get pregnant.
If you have missed on other days then the contraception is no longer effective. Your chances of being pregnant are like the couple not using contraception i.e.about 25%.
If you don't want to take the risk you may use emergency contraception. Since it is already 5 days from the day of unprotected intercourse you cannot use Plan B. But you can get copper IUD inserted up to 19 day of your cycle provided you have regular 28 day cycle. It has the advantage that you can continue it as contracetion
