Stopped Pills Half Way, Did Not Have Sex After That. Pregnancy Chance?

i take my first ever pill dec. 16 and have sex with husband dec. 20. my last period was I think 3rd or last week of November. Stop taking jan. 05 since husband already return on board and no period for the month of december. Is there really a chance that I will get pregnant because I did not follow the 7 days rule? And if so, what is the percentage of me getting pregnant?

Hello
Thanks for your query.
Oral contraceptive pills are effective in 95 - 97 % cases if taken correctly and consistently
However in your case, chances of pregnancy are higher, as it was only the first month, and you did not take them as per prescription.
Take care.
