Is There A Chance Of Pregnancy With Pull Out Method Of Sex?

I ended a pack of birth control pills and had to order a new pack-i obviously didnt take any pills during the week of my period, the 4th week, and i ordered my new pack late so it has been over a week since my period ended. i wont be able to pick up my new pills until the 2 week mark. ive had sex a few times since then with my fiance, and we use the pull out method. how likely is it that i will become pregnant?

HI,
I understand your concern.
First thing I want to point out is you should never be crossing the schedule of oral contraceptives.To start a new packet as late as 2nd week may prove to be risky, as withdrawal of pills hastens up the ovulation../ Late starting of pills may become harmful to fetus in case of conception.
*SO it is better to scip pills this time. Take full contraceptive care ( condom) & start the new pack of pills on 5th day of periods next time.
Always keep new pack ready in advance.
Withdrawal method( pull out method) of contraception does have some risk, as the precum can have few sperms, which can cause conception.
But as 7-8 days are less likely to be fertile,you may escape this time
* Still it's better to exclude pregnancy around next date of menses -by blood HCG testing./ by home pregnancy test with 8 days delay in menses next time.
Thanks.
