Hello dear
I understand your concern
Less chance of pregnancy when you are on the birth control pill.
You did sex in the safe period of cycle.
Sex two days after the starting birth control pill does not cause pregnancy.
But you have to take the remaining of pill regularly without the missing of any tablet.
Regular birth control pill is highly effective in preventing the pregnancy.
It has failure rate around 0.5-1%.
Avoid stress and take healthy diet
Hope this may help you
