Pregnancy unlikely: A woman who is properly taking her birth control pills, and is beyond her first pack of pills, has contraceptive protection ALL the time, regardless of where she is in her pill pack. There is a slight drop in protection if one active pill is missed, but if she gets her withdrawal period at the end of each pack of pills, then she is not pregnant.
