Pregnancy: Unlikely, but if you are having sex regularly and don't want to use BCP's use condoms to avoid pregnancy.

Low chance, but...: Since you had your period, you should be ok. You might want to do a pregnancy test just to make sure, though. If you're not wanting to be pregnant, then you need to take responsibility and get on birth control.
