It is not possible to tell you if you would get pregnant but its certainly possible to tell you you could be pregnant.
Certainly with the combined pill its advisable to use a second method of contraception for the first week as the pill wont have had time to work. I would think the mini-pill would be similar.
If you are worried about a possible pregnancy have you thought about taking the morning after pill. This can prevent a pregnancy up to 72 hours after unprotected sex. Speak to your pharmacist asap if you want such a pill.
Without meaning to sound very rude, as you are obviously concerned about this matter, make sure you sit down and read the instructions with your pill. Your GP should have told you to use other precautions but you should always read the leaflet given with any drug and know of possible side effects etc.
6 days can make a big difference but you would also be faced with the usual contraints that face women who are trying to conceive, fertile time of month etc. It is possible though, as i said, that you could be pregnant and as you say the morning after pill is too late. The pill is not 100% safe you know.
My advice to you would be to wait until your period is due (im not sure if you are on combined or mini pill) and wether you get a bleed or not that you try and do a pregnancy test to make sure and put your mind at rest hopefully. Actually buy 2 tests and do one on day period is due and then the 2nd a week later.
In future please be careful, instructions are given with the pill are to be followed. Bending the rules so to speak can cause pregnancy or at the very least worry and stress. as lightoftruth said, condoms also prevent the likelihood of STD where the pill doesnt so maybe you should look at using both. That way you are decreasing the chance of a pregnancy even further.
A bleed on the combined pill is not the same as a period as such. Some women who do fall pregnant whilst on the pill still get their monthly bleeds and dont find out for months.
Isnt it best just to test and set your mind at rest anyway. My period is currently 3 days late and I could be pregnant due to circumstances. I have had some spotting but know that it is fairly normal to have spotting when in early stages of pregnancy so Im going to get a test later just to make sure. otherwise i know that i will worry myself silly, not that Id mind being pregnant again
