Brief Answer:
Yes it may happen

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,

Although the chance of getting pregnant are very low (if you miss the 6 th day pill and you do intercourse on the day 7 or 8) it may still happen.

This is why you should take contraceptive pills regularly to avoid unplanned pregnancy.

Wish you health!
