Hello Anonymous,
Protection against pregnancy is not dependant upon how many years you have been taking birth control pills.
Birth control pills prevent pregnancy by preventing ovulation . That is done by keeping hormone levels constant.
That is why it is so important to take a pill at the same time each day.
There is a chance that you could have ovulated and become pregnant. Wait and see what happens during your week of inactive pills.
