i havent missed any pills but i was wondering if i dont start taking the pill agen after sunday and have unprotected sex is there any chance of pregnancy? as i have hurd that sperm can live inside you for 7 days.
If you dont start the next pack of pills as scheduled then you are unprotected.Sperm can live inside the vaginal canal for 48 hrs.

even when you are on the pills, there is never a 100percent chance of no pregnancy, especially f you used to skip it. also, after stopping the pills, it might also take some time for your system to get back to normal and ovulation to be regular once again. So if you wish to stop the pills in order to get pregnant, then being pregnant after unprotected sex on Sunday will only be possible if you were to ovulate. however, if you are stopping the pills but do not want to get pregnant, then my advice to you will be to get an alternative means of protection, maybe condoms, while deciding on what to do. All the best
