mistake w/pills--can i be pregnant?

I have been on Orthotricyclin Lo for over a year now and this month i had a little slip up. There are 3 weeks of active pills; white for 7 days, light blue for 7, and dark blue for 7, then there are the green nonactive pills. During the first week i was missing a white pill and my drs was closed and i didn't have another pack to borrow from. I had extra light blue pills so i took one of those in its place (i took 6 white pills then 8 light blue and 7dark blue). I am now currently not taking any because this is the week my period is supposed to come. It usually starts today in the morning some time, its now going on 7pm and i'm getting nervous. Does anyone know my chances of getting pregnant from the change of pills? I'm hoping its just a little off schedule this month...I've also got another question, i know that you don't have to take the nonactive pills but what are your chances of getting pregnant during that week? Any comments would be much appreciated!!

your probably a little off schedual because the dose of that extra light blue pill was a little lower or higher then usual.... chances are because there was a little higher or slight change in doseage it changed you time of you period... no worries... i wouldn't so long as you took an active pill i wouldn't worry about it,

Girl. you are too young and I remember being your age and worrying about this stuff.  Worry will delay your period too, so maybe just relax and stick with the schedule and if you don't get it, take a test.
