Taking Birth Control, Strep Throat, Vomiting, Forgot A Pill, Unprotected Sex, Bleeding. Chances Of Pregnancy?

Hi, this is a last resort but I need to know what my chances are. I'm on yaz birth control. Started a new pack exactly 13 days ago and took them religiously up until this pack. about two days after starting this pack I got strep throat and was put on amoxicillin. I was vomiting at night time (a couple of times) where I don't know if the pill had a chance to fully sink into my body. I went home for seven days, and about 3 days after I went home, I forgot a pill but doubled up the next night. and on day seven of being home I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend where he ejaculated in me. I went back to my apartment (this being the 29th when I went back) my boyfriend and I continued to have unprotected sex repeatedly over 3 day span from the 29th to the 1st. in which over those days I forgot two pills!! Which i threw out and started fresh. I've been bleeding for the past two days (obviously my body doesn't know what's up) but Im stressing and I need to know the chances of pregnancy\ chances of having ovulated. Thanks!!

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
The possibility of protection from pregnancy by the hormonal pills is less in your case, as :
- You had vomitings after intake of pill
- Antibiotic usage
-History of missed pills
So you better use some additional method of contraception till completion of this pack.
And the bleeding you are having could be withdrawal bleeding due to missing the pills.
Possibly it will subside soon.
Wait till your expected date of periods. If you miss the periods, go for blood test for pregnancy once.
If the test comes negative, you can continue your next pack as per the schedule.
