Sex while on period, and on the pill

Hi...

I am on my period right now, and last night I had unprotected sex. I took my pill this past month perfectly, except that I was on a Z-pack about a week ago. I know antibiotics can reduce the effectiveness of birth control, so I'm freaking out a little bit. Do you think EC is necessary?

If anyone can help, PLEASE respond! I'd really appreciate it. Hope everyone is having a great day.

Liz :)
