Hi, Im am 15 years old and 120 pounds. I had unprotected sex 2 days ago, and I was wondering my chances of pregnancy. I have been on the pill for a month now, and I know it is very effective in preventing pregnancy. My concern is that I was on the plecebo or "blank" pills while I had unprotected sex so I wasnt technecally on the hormonal pills. I start the hormonal pill in 1 day. I have been very good about taking the pill at the same time everyday, and I have only missed one day the entire month. also, It was around 2 days after I had my period. I would like to know what my chances of pregnancy. There was no form of birth control except that I had been on the pill for a month (ie no pull out method) (link)

The pill is not considered fully effective until AFTER you have been on it a full month. Missing one day's pill can mess things up, so make sure you keep a copy of the instructions to look at. They usually will offer clear and detailed info about what to do if you miss a pill.
Once you are established on the pill, you are over 99% protected from an unwanted pregnancy (assuming you take it the same time, every day). This protection is ongoing, even if you are on a placebo day.
Your option now is to wait and see if your period comes. If it does not, you'll want to take a pregnancy test. Chances are small you are pregnant, but I can understand why you are worried.
I wish you the best.
