Pregnancy and birth control?!


Question: Ok I was just wondering... and theres a lot of factors involved here so please read carefully, if I could be pregnant (which I don't really think I am but would like your opinion just the same). I have been on birth control (yaz) for a year now and my doctor has me take it continually so that I don't have a period. Well I ran out 3 weeks ago and I didn't start taking it again until this last Friday, also because I had stopped taking BC I had a period that started the day after I ran out and ended last Friday as well. Now I know that the general rule of thumb is that you ovulate about 14 days after you period but does that rule apply with a fluke period that only happened cause you suddenly stopped continuous BC? And did my BC cover me 4 days after I started taking it again?

Also I'd appreciate serious answers only and no lectures I know all about safe sex I'm an adult. I also wouldn't be unhappy in the slightest if I were in fact pregnant.

Thank you so much for your answers.

If you missed 2 weeks of pill then it would take more than 4 days for you to be covered again when you started taking it. Pregnancy is possible but not definite.

if you have had sex, you could be pregnant. it does not matter how you take your bc (99% effective only if taken correctly, it lessens if you miss a pill, etc).

birth control is usually HIGHLY effective it's very rare for women who are taking it correctly to become pregnant it's not the bith control that fails if you make the slighest mistake (missing pills or whatever) you risk it or some people are just very fertile
