I was wondering what the chances of pregnancy are in the following scenario:
the male uses a condom and the female has been on birth control for at least 3 years. About halfway through intercourse (well before ejaculation), the first condom breaks. After a few seconds, the male pulls out and uses a new condom. The other condom stays intact. The male also pulled out when ejaculation occured later while using the second condom. The only real worry involves the condom that broke for a few seconds in the middle of intercourse (well before ejaculation). It seems like a very small chance (especially due to the female being on birth control), but was wondering about it to help ease worrying a little, since this has never happened before.

Especially since she has been on the pill for 3 years.

Birth control is almost completely effective even without a condom, a condom just is that much better. So honestly you're probably fine. And your body is used to it because you've been on it so long.
Fertility: you're most fertile the second week of your cycle, meaning 2 weeks after you got your last period. This isn't set in stone and it can be a little earlier or later. It depends on your personal ovulation which cannot be determined easily.
