If you are taking your birth control pills regularly, meaning at the same time every day, then you should be protected from becoming pregnant.
The bleeding following intercourse could be from the tearing of your hymen. The hymen is a thin tissue that covers much of the opening of the vagina. Though thin, the hymen is filled with blood vessels and so when it tears, there is often some visible blood.
Burning with urination and the frequent urge to urinate could indicate you have a urinary tract infection. Some women are prone to developing UTIs after sexual intercourse. UTIs are treated with antibiotics. You will need to visit your doctors' office and give a urine sample.
In order to prevent the development of UTIs, it is important to drink plenty of water, urinate when you feel the urge, rather than holding urine for extended periods, and urinate after intercourse.
