In theory, if you have been taking your active pills properly, you should not get pregnant during your placebo pills. The pill essentialy stops you from releasing an egg. As such, if no egg was released, you should not be able to get pregnant during your period. However, that's only if you took the pill as directed.

Is it possible to be pregnant after taking 5 of the sugar pills and haven't gotten a period?
Yes. The birth control pill does not work perfectly, and it's possible to get pregnant even when using it perfectly. However, being five days into the placebo pills and not getting a period doesn't necessarily mean you're pregnant. As long as you followed the program all the other days of the month you should be fine. The sugar pills are just to help you keep on track with your habit of taking the pills.
Can you make your menstrual come by taking the placebo pill if you never been on birth control?
No, the placebo pills are exactly that, placebo. (just sugar pills). It would be like expecting a tic tac to bring on your menstrual cycle. If you are on the pill, the placebo pills will start your cycle because they have no active ingredients. If you think you are pregnant and want your period to come, go to a doctor/do a pregnancy test or take the morning after pill if it's not too late.

If you had been on the pill a month including the placebo pill's and then a week later realized you missed one pill could you be pregnant if birth control was your only source of contraceptive?
It's possible you could be pregnant but the only way to determine this is by performing a pregnancy test 2-3 weeks after you last had intercourse. If the test is negative you can rule out pregnancy but if its positive you will need to see your DR for confirmation.
