Hi,
There is a risk of pregnancy. Birth control pills work best if taken according to schedule and at the same time each day.
If you miss one or more pills, you increase your chances of releasing an egg (ovulation) that could be fertilized and lead to a pregnancy.
Since you have missed the active pills and had unprotected sex, there is a possibility of pregnancy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
