I have 2 children, and took the pill between my two kids. I have forgotten to take it for a couple days at a time, but I just catchup and have never had any problems. This time I forgot to take it for several days straight. The pill is Yaz, is it a strong possiblility that I could get pregnant or is it most likely still in my system enough to protect me? I have been under lots of stress and just simply forgot to take the thing. I don't want to stress my husband out if I don't need to.

Of course there is the chance, but if you have been on it for that long then I think you are fine. If you miss then double them up when you remember chances are slim you'll get pregnant.
This is what my OB told me when I had the same issue
Good Luck

If you miss it for more than 2-3 days then you're more likely to get pregnant. Might be best to use other forms of contraception until your 'break' and then continue as normal (remembering to take every day).
Might be a good idea to put it somewhere where you will remember to take it, like on top of the tea/coffee containers so that when you have your first cup of the morning you'll remember the Pill too.

If you skip 2 pills in a row then you are supposed to use alternative methods of birth control for at least 7 days or you could ovulate and become pregnant.

You can always get pregnant if you're having sex, whether or not you're on the pill.
