I started re-taking my birthcontrol on Sunday the 13th of March - not the first day of my period.
I took 2.. then missed 5 pills in a rown, my boyfriend ejaculated in me on the following Sunday. I then proceeded to take the 5 missed pills later that day.
Do I have a good chance of being pregnant? ):

Yes.
Birth control isn't even effective during the first month anyway, which is why you are told to wait at least that long. They don't just tell you that it takes a month to become effective just for shits and giggles.

Not only that, but the effectiveness also decreases the more late you are for pills.
The OK three hour window went out the window and using basic math skills, even if you had been on birth control for over a month, the pill wouldn't have been effective at all when you had sex.

Yes of course you have a chance.
And sorry, but how can you miss 5 days in a row? It's written that you have to take them as soon as you remember about them, how .. 5 days..

[faithx]

Yes, there is a chance you could be pregnant. You only have to miss one day for it to not be effective! Also if you miss 5 pills I don't think it's a good idea to catch up on them by taking them all in one day, can't be good for you at all!

you could become pregnant. you can get pregnant one birth control anyways.

another thing: i did not know that you could take that many missed pills in one day?! the most i used to be able to take (if i missed them) was 2, and the one for that day, soo 3....

You should see a doctor.

It really depends. Some birth control like depo provera is horrible to a majority of women on it and IMO should be removed from being administered. Pills and condoms, etc are good, or the ring, patch, implant, IUD, etc.
I have heard that you should give your body a break every now and then from hormonal birth control.
so now u can check out what u wish.....

Yes you do,
and you should never double up on pills like that.. It doesn't help anything.
