usually if you take the Birth Control for a week straight without missing any you will be protected. even if you use birth control it isn't 100% effective, so you should use condoms to be safe.

When did you start taking birth control and when was your period supposed to come?

Birth control is NOT instant and needs to be taken 30 days before it is protecting against pregnancy. I suggest before you have any further sex you take sex education, learn about prevention of pregnancy, and to realize that sex has responsibilities.
