Q: Started birth control late

I may be a bit paranoid...I am...but I started my BC late because I thought (stupidly) that you started the pill the day after your period and not the day you start your period...so on that note I started taking it late. Also, I'd only been taking them a month before my husband and I had sex without a condom and he ejaculated in me...many many many times (I hate to say it that many times but I had to show that it could possibly be a problem) that was the week that I would have been ovulating also so I'm just wondering what my chances are. My best friend got pregnant while on birth control pills and used a condom so I'm a bit worried. Does anybody have any advice on:
1. Anything related to that
2. How to know you're pregnant while you're still using the pill
Thanks

You ONLY need to take the pills for ONE WEEK for you to be protected.

The amount of sex you have makes no difference.

Being sick does not make the pill less effective unless you VOMIT within 2 hours of taking your pill. After 2 hours it has already absorbed into your bloodstream.
