Worried as I've been silly

I've been an idiot I started on the pill a few months ago but I'm so forgetful I've been forgetting to take it sometimes, I'd say I forget to take about 2 a week, still have unprotected sex.
I would be happy if I was pregnant I would love another the only reason I started the pill was because I made the decision to complete my weight loss journey before TTC again.
My boobs are absolutely killing me and they never do not even during period, I'm due on my period around 20th,
I might not be pregnant but I've really worried myself that every Friday I have a drink, I only have about 4 wkds or gin and tonics and occasionally on a Saturday too, I only started doing this about 5 weeks ago before that I never had an interest in alcohol so I'm worried it will effect if I was?
Also the fact that I've been taking the pill most days will that harm a baby if there was one?
Thank you if you help and sorry I'm so silly🤦🏼‍♀️

I was forever forgetting to take my pill or taking it later than I should have and I never once got pregnant. Depending on which pill you're on, it either blocks ovulation or changes the hormones so there's very little chance the sperm will reach the egg. Although it's not 100%, it's one of the most reliable methods of contraception. Also bear in mind that there's only around 25% chance each cycle of a woman getting pregnant if they have unprotected sex throughout their fertile window when they're not on the pill!
With that being said, sometimes it does just happen out of chance.
So either your symptoms are down to the pill (highly likely) or pregnancy (much less likely). Periods can also stop completely on the pill.
Only way to tell is to take a test!

Also the odd drink won't have an impact this early on. The pill won't harm either if you are. Don't stress!

Thank you so much! You've totally relieved me now I think your probably right and the sore boobs may be from the pill! It's the mini pill and so far hasn't stopped my periods although my last one was very light
Thanks again really helpful advice!
