Q: Drug Interactions With Birth Control Pills

For the past week I have been sick with a cold and taking over the counter decongestents to relieve the pressure in my head from it. My boyfriend and I have been together to 3 months now and have just recently started having sex without a condom so i'm not sure how the cold medication i've been taking will affect my pills, what do you think?
Thanks :)
