Hello, Sil! How are you?

If you didn't stop them until several days after having intercourse, then you were still protected from getting pregnant. You do not ovulate while you are taking them, they actually work by prevention ovulation.

And yes, stopping them abruptly in the middle of the pack would most likely cause your period to be thrown off. When you're taking oral hormonal contraceptives, your period is actually brought on by withdrawal from the hormones, the pills for the week you have it don't have any hormones in them and the usual length of time it lasts may also change, since you stopped taking them.

You should double check all the information with your doctor, but what I am telling you is how it all normally works.

Why did you stop taking them?
