Hi
Yes if you stop birth control pills and have unprotected sex there are chances that you can become pregnant
Do you have regular cycles. The first and the last week of menstrual cycle are safe. You don't get pregnant if you have sex during that period. This is the simplest way to explain .
The more detailed explanation is as below.
Find out from your last 6 months menstrual cycles the longest and shortest cycle. Subtract 20 days from shortest cycle to identify the first fertile day and 11 days from the longest cycle to identify the last fertile day. The remaining days are safe. But this method has high failure rate.
Therefore it is safer to use birth control pills. If you do not like pills you can use hormone patches or ring instead. If you do not like hormones discuss with your doctor and get copper Intrauterine uterine devise fitted.
To protect yourself from STIs use condoms regularly
