Is Ortho-Evra Birth Control Sufficient To Prevent Pregnancy?

Hello, I'm 18 years old and have a question about pregnancy. I have been using the Ortho-Evra birth control patch for 2 months now. I had sex with my boyfriend last week and that day, I took off my patch because it was the start of the week to have it off for my period to come. We used a condom, but later found out that the condom broke. We are both concerned that I got pregnant because I was not protected. I'm a little nervous and I am very scared to tell my parents about my concerns. Are the chances high of me getting pregnant this way? What can I do?
