Freaking out over possible pregnancy

Hi everyone,I've been a lurker of this site for a little while and have finally decided to post because I'm really SCARED and need some help. Well I guess I can start off by the fact that around March (the pack before last) I was taking my pill erratically. I took my pill about 2 or 3 hours late like 7 days (out of the monthly pack) and one time missed it for like 12 hours. Then I had unprotected sex on the last day of my active pills for that month (beginning of April). So I had a normal period during that placebo week which immediately followed the sex (I got my period 3 days after sex). And this pack, I've taken pretty much consistently, however I still havent received my period and it's Thursday of the placebo week (I'm a Sunday starter). I'm really scared that I got pregnant during that session of unprotected sex in April, got my breakthrough bleeding since only 3 days elapsed between the unprotected sex and the 'period' and have taken a whole pack of pills while being pregnant. The only things that have changed over this month is I've been pretty stressed out in general and had stopped going to the gym. Can anyone weigh in on my situation, any opinions are welcome? Sorry if it's incoherent; I'm pretty stressed/scared. Thanks in advance for any help

Thank you Jill for responding so promptly. I am on Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo and have been on it for the past year and a half. I have been on birth control for the past 4 years overall. I've never really missed a period until now; I still hope it will come but I dont even feel crampy. I figure I'll buy a pregnancy test later tonight but I'm really too scared to take it. Anyways thanks again for your help

I know it can be scary, but it's better to get an answer for sure sooner rather than later.

Again, thanks so much Jill. Of course, I will let you know how it turned out (when I get the nerve to take the test ). You've been such a help today with my problem. I just pray that I'm not pregnant as I'm not ready, financially or mentally, for a child and am not in a stable relationship.

Let us know. It sounds pretty unlikely, really.
