Fortunately for you, the answers below me are incorrect. If you are taking Birth Control effectively (and remember that sickness/diarrhea and antibiotics can affect it) then the chances are not high, around less than 1%. It's safe to use Birth Control without a condom (unless you are not sure if your partner has STD's, in which case you should always use one), so while there is a miniscule chance, you most likely have nothing to worry about.

I don't know the exact percentage, but the chances are high, because even if you've been on birth control for five years, you can still get pregnant, let alone an STD.
Percentages really don't matter, because you could be the exception to the 97% of women that won't get pregnant if this..
My point is, the only way to 100% guarantee you won't get pregnant is, you guessed it, abstinence.
I've known people who have gotten pregnant when the condom didn't break/rip, and they were on birth control, and used it every day and how they were supposed to. So, it can happen. Just remember that.

IF you are taking your pills at EXACTLY the same time everyday, the chance is about 5%. BUT if the condom broke, and cum got inside you, that definetly increases the chance to about 8%.
just always remember that no matter what precautions you take, there is always a chance at pregnancy.
hope this helps! =]
