Chances of been pregnant?

Hey, so I just have a quick question really and wonder if people can relate? So I have decided to come off my contraceptive pill, I let myself have a period first but me and my other half had unprotected sex on the day that I should have started a fresh pack. And obviously now I haven't re started one. What are the chances I could be pregnant? If any? Thanks

Don't know what the chances are but I think you'd be very lucky to be PG the first time @Ladybirdred

Unlikely. You need to have sex when you are ovulating to get pregnant.

I haven't taken the pill for a long time, but think you start a fresh pack on cycle day 1/first day of your period? Very unlikely you'd ovulate close enough to that to get pregnant, it's usually around day 14.

This is how I got pregnant with DD1, without planning to be. Had a 9-day 'break' instead of 7-day, as I had run out of pills. Didn't think it would be an issue, as I'd been on the pill for 16+ years, solidly. Turns out I must have ovulated in those 9 days...

So, yes, you could be pregnant.
