Yes! You can get pregnant while taking the pill daily as well. However, the chances of getting pregnant after forgetting the pill for 5 days are much higher. You may also get your period and should start over with a fresh pack.
I would not worry about it. Theoretically you can pregnant depending on the week you forget to take bc. But I know stories of people that stop taking birth control and don't ovulate for months! Think about all the pills they forgot.
Birth control is 99% effective IF taken properly. This includes taking it the same time every night, not missing any PILLS, not taking anti-biotics etc. Each time you miss a pill or, are taking anti-biotics etc, your chances of becoming pregnant increases.
Yes
There are such chances but in a very little percent.
