Hello
Thanks for your query.
Oral contraceptive pills are almost 99 % effective in preventing a pregnancy, particularly if used consistently and correctly , and regularly.
Since you have been regularly on the pill, your chances of pregnancy are pretty low.
However, condoms would prevent against STDs, so they are a better bet.
Continue using the pill as advised.
take a pregnancy test if you skip your period.
All the best.
