Unprot sex = prg cha: Any time u have unprotected sex, u have a chance of becoming pregnant. Birth control pills (BCP) lower the risk, but there have been cases of "failure" of BCPs. The fact that u missed a few doses probably slightly increases your chances. You did the right thing in "making up" the missed doses, but when u take BCP erratically, it is less effective. If you want to knw, take a home pregnancy test.
