Missed Pill. What are the chances?

Been awhile since I had to come to this board. I posted on another BC bored but people are only viewing and not responding. Sooo..kinda the same question as another post I saw...soo..

I'm on my third pack of pills, Ortho Tri Lo. (Been on them before as well) I'm on my third week now. But during the first week into the pack(Sunday starter), on Tuesday the second day of taking the pill I threw it up. I had been drinking and didn't think to take another after throwing up, I just went right to bed. I take my pill everyday around 11pm-12am. So I didn't take my next pill until wens. around 12amish. I have been taking it on time since than. I did start having pains in my side that week after missing the pill, maybe O pains?What could've been spotting that week(very small red spot, happened once)same week with the side pains. Yes I did have sex that week, not-protected. But I'm engaged and me and my finance already have one child together, so if something was to happen we would both be happy. We are going to be trying soon anyways, but it would just be earlier than expected. So my question is what are my chances? My pack ends this Saturday.

Thanks. I figured as much. I just don't have my leaflet and everywhere I looked I couldn't find anything about vomiting a pill and I keep seeing how important the first week is. Its been awhile since I had a mess up like that so I wasn't really sure what to expect.
I wouldn't even call it spotting, it was barely there but I guess it has to be called something. lol.
Thanks I have a long ways to go. AF isn't even due till next week. My pill ends this Saturday.
Another question, I thought pills where suppose to help with cramps? Yesterday I had cramps so bad they went down to my thighs. It lasted most of the day on and off. None that bad today. I also had this happen to me last month too. I'm on Ortho Lo and its not new to me. I took it for a year before.

I've had pretty bad cramps with certain pills, no cramps at all with other ones.

Okay update. I have been taking them 1st response early detection tests since Thursday. As long as they stay - I kept taking my pill. Well this morning I took my last test and its a +!! Faint but there. I can see it no problem. Of course if its true we are totally okay with this. But Im scared to get excited or say anything because last month I got a + on a $ store test. I took one with my friend cause she was late on her period and my was +...but I got my period the day I was suppose to. =/ so that was kind of upsetting. Im scared at the same thing will happen...will me continuing to take my pills b4 I got a + cause another chemical? Could the test be wrong? My friend says the pill can affect the test but I heard thats not true. I want to get excited..but I dont want to if my period is just going to show up again. I know I need to make a appt but its Saturday so I cant call. Oh so you know my period usually comes on Wens..so Im not even due till next week. One reason that made me keep testing was my boobs have been sore, I have been gassy(TMI) and I have been getting off and on dizzy spells. Im not counting the cramps cause those can be pre-period too. My boobs are not as sore today so of course Im worrying cause I was still taking the pill. What do you think? Sorry for rambling!!

(i haven't read all the replies so i might be repeating what someone else said)

in my birth control at least, in the packet of information there is a section that says what your chances are of getting pregnant if you miss 1/2/3 pills. have you looked at the info for your pills?

No. I dont have the packet info for my pills. I threw it out thinking I didnt need it. But I took other pregnancy tests since the faint one on Saturday and they were all -. so Im thinking it was a faulty test, plus it faded alot. My period is due tomorrow and Im thinking it is going to come which means Ill have to re-fill my pills and make sure to keep info this time. Thanks for the reply!!

maybe. but I already finished up my pack of pills on Saturday so there wouldn't be a point to looking now? Ill just have to keep the info handy just in case Ill ever need it. Me and my fiance are talking about trying sometime soon..so hopefully I wont have to be on for much longer anyways. =D
