Any time you have unprotected sex you risk pregnancy. It is that simple. If you have sex now even though you are taking the pills you will need to use condoms as well. How long it takes to be protected again depends on the pill. You can call your pharmacist and ask, or read the pill insert. If you no longer have the insert information, try the website: http://www.thepill.com/thepill/aboutbirth.html
If you are pregnant, you may still get a period, but it will be most likely be lighter than usual. You should be able to test for pregnancy about 2 weeks after you had unprotected sex.
