This post might be a little long. Heh. >__>;
So me and my boyfriend had sex for the first time a little under a month ago; we didn't use a condom but he pulled out AND it was the day after my period; then next day at school the only thing that was on my mind was OMG; WHAT IF I AM PREGNANT; so I talked to him about it and he went and got me the morning after pill; a few days after taking the pill I got the random bleed that goes after it; on the last day I put myself on the pill; the doctor said that I shouldn't have unprotected sex until I have been on the pill for a week so it is 100% effective and if I miss a pill take it as soon as I remember to take it and don't have unprotected sex until a week after that day.
SO; I started the pill on the Friday after the bleed; that night me and my boyfriend had sex and the condom broke; so we had to go to the hospital to get the morning after pill; AGAIN. o____o
About a week after that I had to do a graveyard shift and I totally forgot to take my pill because I passed out as soon as I got home; so as soon as I woke up and was like; OH s**t I took the pill; that was only five hours late; but it is still late enough(SATURDAY).
So I continued to take the pills every day and then today(THURSDAY) me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex; TWICE. u____u; but he pulled out; (I know about pre-c** and the sperm and all that)
SO; what do you think my chances of pregnancy are; I was thinking along the lines of 10% but I really don't know. Any help would be awesome! And thank you for reading thiss. (I suck at building sentences. x__X)

It sounds like you already know this or else you would not have gotten the morning after pill, but just to clear it up for other readers who might not know, the pull out method is not a form of birth control. You can still get pregnant if he pulls out. You can also get pregnant at any day of the month, during any point in your cycle, even when you have your period.

unprotected sex until I have been on the pill for a week so it is 100% effective


The pill is never 100% effective. You're right that you need to use a backup method for one week, but even after that week the pill is not 100% effective even if you take it exactly as directed (every single day and at the same time every day). It's close to 100%, but not quite. That means you could still get pregnant even with prefect use.

We cannot tell you what your chances of being pregnant are. There is no way anyone could give you a number on that because it depends on so many things. So far it sounds like you guys have been pretty unsafe, but like I said, pregnancy depends on so many things. If you actually want to prevent pregnancy, which it kind of sounds like you do, you'll just have to be a lot more careful in the future. If the doctor tells you to use condoms for a week, use them, not the pull out method, for that week. If you don't follow the directions for your birth control, it's kind of like not taking it at all.

If you end up forgetting to take the pill a lot, you'll have to use condoms for even longer than a week. If you two really don't like condoms, you can either look into other non-hormonal methods or talk to your doctor about birth control options that you do not have to take every day.
