Getting pregnant on the combined pill

Just a question if anybody has any anecdotal experience... I'm on the combined pill, we are hoping to try for baby #3 later this year. This month I missed pill ~7, and ~10 in my packet. I experienced breakthrough bleeding so gave up and took my 7 day break. Then I forgot to restart my pack until I'd had a 10 day break. We DTD twice around day 7 of my break, and day 9. I'm kind of hoping the odds might be in my favour and I might get pregnant with a little less planning! Has anybody ever got pregnant in similar circumstances? We conceived both other times around 7-14 days after my coming off my pill so we are pretty fertile if that makes a difference!

That would be getting pregnant from using the combined pill incorrectly. You'd need 21 days of pill taking to be covered against pregnancy in the 7 day break.

If you are hoping to be pregnant have you stopped taking the pill again? It would be dangerous to keep taking it if you could be pregnant.

How long since you had unprotected sex?

I'm on the combined pill and I've just found out I'm pregnant. I've taken my pill completely religiously, never missed one and I'm pregnant so you have a good chance!
