Pill question...

I started taking the pill again after a couple of months break.
I was on day 3/4 of the new pack and had rather a lot of unprotected sex. I started the new pack about 3 days after my period stopped.
What’s the likelihood I’ll end up with baby number 4??

If its the combined pill then you wouldn't have full protection until you have taken the pill for 7 days. If its the mini pill you get protection after 2 days of pill taking

You'll have been on CD3 so will have been protected from CD10 onwards so it's reasonably unlikely unless you ovulated quite early.

I recommend a quick read of the pill leaflet to refamiliarise yourself though.

Sorry, just to add I'm referring to the combined pill, not the mini pill.

What I did when I missed a few pills when I was taking it, was take ovulation tests around the time it would be due to see if the pill worked that month or not. The pill I used to take stopped ovulation, hence no pregnancy.

It’s the combined pill.
My boobs are killing me today! Can’t be a pregnancy symptom this soon though?! Only had sex at the weekend... hoping it’s the pill that’s causing that. Last time I had sex was about 2 weeks ago
