Messed up my pills
So I have been on the pill for almost 5 years, no scares and no mistakes..
I was starting my new pill pack last Wednesday, and it was late and dark so I took my pill and went to sleep. Thursday night, I slept at my boyfriends and forgot my pack so I got home Friday morning to take my Thursday pill and realized I had accidently taken the sugar pill Wednesday so technically I was two days off my BC. I immediately took my pill Friday morning, just restarting the pack.
So I had sex without protection (I had thought I was on the pill and we've been together 4 yrs so no condoms but he pulled out) on both Thursday and Friday night... I woke up Saturday morning with blood in my undies?? It wasn't rough sex or anything. I bled most of the day Saturday. My period had ended Wednesday that week and I never spot or have breakthrough bleeding, I guess my question is could I be pregnant and were my pills still effective even though I messed up?
Thanks in advance :)
Also please no lecturing about using condoms, we are monogamous, consenting, secure adults who use a different birth control method and have no fear of STDs.

Okay here is how I see it; just remember I am not a doctor so this is not medical advice.
You have been on the pill for 5 years. If you wanted to get pregnant you would have to be off the pill for at least 30 days or more, for most women, before you could possibly conceive.
Your period had just finished, hopefully you are among the 80% of women who ovulate between the 7th and 21st day of their menstrual cycle. If your period is still in sync with you ovulation cycle you had sex during your safe period.
As for the bleeding again on Saturday this may have been your body’s natural reaction to not being on the pill and your period starting again. It seems logical to me that this is what would happen that your body would continue your period if not stopped by the birth control pill. If I am correct in my thinking you cannot be pregnant or get pregnant if you womb is cleaning itself with a period.
In my estimation you are not pregnant. If you want to make sure get a home pregnancy test and test but wait until at least Monday so that you have 10 days since your sexual experience when not on the pill. Should it come out positive don't freak out you may be testing too early. Wait 10 more days and test again.
