I have seen some research that suggests that starting a pack late is one of the greatest dangers, because it gives your ovaries a chance to crank up again. You had unprotected sex pretty early in your cycle, though, and you'll probably ovulate no sooner than a few days from now. Just please MAKE SURE that you use a reliable backup for the rest of this cycle! Good luck.
