I've been on trial sprintec low dose birth control pills for over 1 year now. i am protected all the time? i had unprotected sex for the 1st time.

Yes: If you are taking the pills correctly you have an approx 99% protection rate from pregnancy. The only thing that is 100% is never having sex. Birth control pills offer no protection from STD's.
