Been Taking Yaz. Had Sex, Unsafe, Skipped Pill. What Are The Odds?

I ve been taking Yaz for a few months now and recently had to drink a morning after pill , because I forgot to tako birth control during the first week and I had unprotected sex.I am now in my last week and I ve forgotten to drink two pills in this week, I was on vacation and when I forgot to take the first one i didn t have sex before or a couple of days after it.But I forgot to take the pill two days ago as well and I had sex the night before, I took two pills the next morning and now I have cramps and some bleeding , could it be because of the morning after pill or is it possible that I am pregnant? Please help.

hi,
as you missed almost three pills in one pack with history of unprotected intercourse there may not be complete protection for the month,
your symptoms could also be side effects of pills as they can cause withdrawal bleeding, cramps etc,
so if you do not get withdrawal bleeding after completion of the pack better to go for pregnancy test preferably blood test once to rule out the possibility.
take care.
