Just started birth control

My b/f and I have been having protected sex since we have been together but I just began birth control yesterday, but today we had sex without protection and now I am afraid that I will become pregnant...and I am also afraid now that if I become pregant should I still be taking the pill for the babies sake? We want children, and he wants a child more then I do..we are planning to be married, but I was hoping to wait for children after we got married..,any advice from anyone would be so grateful and helpful.

You need to take at least 7 active pills in a row before you are protected from pregnancy. You could opt to get plan B from your local pharmacy. You don't need a prescription if you are at least 18.
