Liklihood of being pregnant?

So i started taking the pill 'yaz' on Saturday 12th May, and i had unprotected sex on Sunday 20th May (8 days later). I know it says the pill is effective after 7 days, but i was concerned it wasn't accurate enough, because this time would normally be my ovulating time. Since i was concerned i got the morning after pill about 4 hours after the sex. On a pamphlet it said it is 95% likely to prevent pregnancy if taken on the first day. The chances are very slim right? (and please spare me the unprotected sex leads to stds lecture if possible)

    The chance already was very slim, and the morning after pill made it even slimmer. Don't get scared if it messes up your cycle, the morning after pill tends to do that.

    If you started your birth control pills within a week of the beginning of your last period, you can be pretty sure that it prevented your ovulation. In that case the pill is actually considered to be effective straight away. After all, no ovulation = no egg = no chance to get pregnant.

    In any case, you are very unlikely to get pregnant.
