I have been taking birth control for almost 3 months now. The last time I had my period (1 1/2 weeks ago) I had unprotected sex. I know it isn't likely for me to get pregnant during my period AND on birth control, but I felt weird because I knew I was only taking the placebo pills. I know you're still protected from the other pills when taking the placebo pills. Any advice would be great. Thanks :)

If you took your pill perfectly, it's very unlikely that you're pregnant. If worrying about the effectiveness is going to be a concern, perhaps you should consider using an additional barrier method, such as condoms.
