Can Having Unprotected Sex While On Birth Control Cause Pregnancy?

hello,im really concerned that im pregnant, me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex he pulled out before he cummed but im worried that some how i got pregnant.
i got the rod in my arm two days ago because i wanted it to help just in case i waspregnant, i also take the pill. im still so young! but i guess my main question is can i still be pregnant while taking the pill and on the rod?
I'm to scared to talk to some one about it or my parents because as i said i am still so young and at the time i thought it was going to be some fun but now i cant stop thinking about it

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Normally birth control pills are very effective way to prevent unwanted pregnancy, but they should be taken regularly to be fully effective. Most cases of failure of birth control pills are related to irregular intake of pill or missing them for 1-2 days.
If you have taken the birth control pills regularly as prescribed, you should not get pregnant even after having unprotected intercourse. On the other side if you have not taken pills regularly, this may cause ovulation in middle of your cycle & cause pregnancy in you as you had unprotected sex.

Hope this information helps
Good luck
