I have a very unsure questioon, maybe someone can help, I have been on the pill for about 4 and a half yrs, recently (3 weeks ago) I had to stop because I didnt have a GYNO appointment until after the holidays, I was off the pill for about 2? 3? weeks,(I WAS HAVING PROTECTED SEX), I got my pd. a week ago and yday was my lst day, today (saturday) I got on the pill again in the AM and TODAY I had unprotected sex, I am ok? I feel like I am safe, but im not sure... thoughts? opinions? I don't want to second guess myself.

No Brod, there's a chance of pregnancy.
Many pills will tell you that you need to use them continuously for 7 days before having unprotected sex, some even longer. It depends on the pill. If you had sex a week after your period started, you were on day 7 of your cycle. Normally you'd ovulate between days 11-16. Sperm can live up to about 5 days. So, it's early but possible.
Check with your doctor/pharmacist about how long you need to use alternate birth control.
Good luck.
