sex, period, birth control

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.
