Birth control: Is 99.9% effective, so there is a very slight chance you can be pregnant, but the odds are in your favor, and since everything is going normally and you did not miss a pill it is improbable. If you want to be even safer, you can also use condoms as well as the Birth control, which also protect against STI's. Best wishes.
