Panicking about pregnancy

Long story short - I stopped taking my pill last week after my boyfriend and I broke up I had only been back on it a week.

I had a few days of bleeding straight after. I ended up having unprotected sex with him a few times five days ago where he did not pull out.

I didn't think much of it for the first few days and now I am panicking because I've started having very mild cramps tonight.

How likely is it that I could be pregnant?

From what I understand it depends on what Pill you are on. Mini pill or combined. It also depends on your cycle. I know it’s hard to tell when you take the pill.
Any pill is about 99% effective when taken properly. However, this basically means that 1 person in every hundred could fall pregnant. If you miss pills etc the percentage of safety decreases.
It could be though that as you’ve missed a fair few that your system is a little confused and may need to settle down again. Annoyingly it’s a case of playing the waiting game. Maybe give it 2 weeks and test to be on the safe side. Get a pink test though FRER, not clear blue. Pink tests work better generally.
