Can Pregnancy Happen While On Birth Control Pills?

Hi I am a 27 year old working woman. 3 months back I started having issues related to my menstrual cycles. They were delayed and scanty. I had hair on face and breasts. My doctor advised me to be on ginette 35 cycle for 3 months. In my earlier tests my LH levels were quite high. After 3 cycles, there was remarkable improvement in LH levels and periods were regular. My doctor advised me again to continue for 2 more cycles with ginette 35 and then I have been advised to stop this. My last periods (following 3rd ginette 35 cycle) started on 5th June and I started with my new ginette 35 pack on 9th June. I had unprotected sex on 13th June. Is it possible that I could be pregnant? I mean I have been told that Ginette acts as a Birth control pill too so is it possible that after taking 4 pills in the new cycle can still lead to pregnancy? As per my cycle I should have got my periods today but I havent. Just wanted to be doubly sure whether there are chances to get pregnant.

As it has contraceptive effect there are less chances of pregnancy but it also has failure rate . So best thing is to do urine pregnancy test and confirm if you are pregnant. Stop the tablets if you are pregnant.
