[Birth Control] Missed Pills

Hi. I began taking Ortho-Tricyclen again a couple of months ago. I am a Sunday starter. During my second month of being on the pill, I missed #11 (Weds), #12 (Thurs), and #13 (Fri) of my second week (light blue) pills. On Saturday (day 14), I took two light blue pills, and on Sunday (day 15) I took two light blue pills, and on Monday (day 16) I took two light blue pills, until finally I was caught up by Tuesday. A few days after I missed the #11,12,13 pills, I did have some spotting, but not enough to assume menstruation. Around day 24 (or 25) I started a heavier menstrual period than usual (probably due to earlier late pills). I had sex on day 28, and on day 1 of new cycle... during which both times my boyfriend ejaculated (the condom also broke both times). I think I either took my day 1 pill on Sunday (as scheduled) or Monday morning - not sure. My question is... what are the chances I am pregnant if I just finished my period and began a new cycle about the time I had sex? What effect does missing those three pills (around the normal time of ovulation) have on my body's process? Could it have messed up my ovulation period? Am I being paranoid? I feel bloated and slight cramping since yesterday, and it's day 10 of my new cycle. I know I must wait until after I miss a period to take a BC test for accuracy. Please advise as much as possible.
