What are the chances I could become pregnant after missing 3 pills?

My boyfriend and I went on a trip, during this time I forgot my birth control at home. We were gone Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and came home Monday. I totally forgot that I had not been taking any birth control and we had sex twice on Sunday (stupidly I know) and he pulled out. I took my birth control on Monday again. So I missed 3 active pills, all in the first row. What are the chances I would have ovulated in those 3 days or shortly after? Its been over 5 days now, so I don't believe emergency contraceptives will work. I've never missed a pill, we always use the pull out method on top of birth control so I'm very panicked and confused. Be kind. Thank you in advance.

    Traditionally you ovulate day 14 of a 30 day cycle... thats all I know, hopefully it brings you some comfort. I do know that any break in contraceptives makes them ineffective so continue for the rest of your cycle using condoms instead of pull out to be fully sure your protected.
