Not eating the sugar pills does not increase the risk of pregnancy. Throwing away the sugar pills and starting the next pack early also does not increase the risk of pregnancy -- it may even decrease the risk.

What are the chances of getting pregnant by skipping your sugar pills and ot having a period?
Skipping sugar pills to avoid a period reduces, and does not raise, your risk of getting pregnant on the pill.
If you skip the sugar pills in your birth control pack and start up a new pack can you have sex without a condom without getting pregnant?
The sugar pills are purely to keep you in the habit of taking a pill every day. As long as you take the pills containing hormones at the right time every day, you have a low chance of getting pregnant
Is it more likely to get pregnant if you have intercourse the day before you start the sugar pills?
No. Not taking a substance the day before cannot affect your chances of pregnancy.
If you miss 3 normal pills after your sugar pills can you get pregnant?
Gosh YES!
Could taking birth control pills and substituting sugar pills with real ones all month round be harmful?
It would be pointless. The sugar pills do not contain anything in them to keep you from getting pregnant. The placebos (or sugar pills) are there as "reminders" to keep you in the habit of taking them and so when you know to start a new pack. The sugar pills are not needed during your period,that's why they are sugar pills. If you take the placebos when you are supposed to be taking the "active" ones, they are inaffective and you might as well not be taking them at all.
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.
Why don't I have a period during while taking the sugar pills?
Sometimes your periods are late or non-existent on the birth control pill. If you have missed pills or are concerned you can take a pregnancy test. Missing birth control pills will decrease the effectiveness of them preventing you from becoming pregnant. The birth control pills will not make the pregnancy test come up positive.

Why are my breasts Leaking while on birth control?
The only medical explanation that comes to mind is... That you confused your birth control pills for the sugar pills and you are now 6 months pregnant.
Is it possible to get pregnant several days after finishing sugar pills and on new pack of birth control pills but yet no period while on the sugar pills?
If you didn't get your period, you should take a home test or go see a doctor. You may be pregnant. If this is your first month or two on this kind of pill, you may need to go to the doctor and get a new kind. It may not be the correct dose for you.
