Hi,
Thanks for the query.I understand your concern.
You were one week late in taking pills ( that means you started between 7th to 12th day of menses.
During this period you had sex on 5th day which is notin f0ertile days... so you apperently do not hsve any risk if pregnancy (unless you had it again on 11th.. 12th or 13th day... for by this tin
Me ovulation is expected within 3 days (and mature ovum is valid upto 3 days at the most).
* In spite of scarce possibility of pregnancy... you would have deayed period this month due to late starting of pills.
In case of doubt.. you should exclude pregnancy & incase it runs +ve you have to get it terminated (oral contraceptives taken during pregnancy cause congenital fetal abnormality).
Thanks.
