How Effective Is Loestrin 24 Fe In Women Who Weigh Over 280 Lbs?

I recently had unprotected sex, my partner pulled out before ejaculation, however I know there is still a possibility pregnancy could occur. How effective is Loestrin 24 Fe (used as birth control) in women who weigh over 280 lbs? I have been taking this particular birth control for over a year.
