should i be concerned?
I used to have unprotected sex (while on birthcontrol ) a lot last year and the year before but my partner always pulled out on time and it never got inside me.I've been on birth control for 2 years and continue to take it daily,lately ive been more cautious about taking it at the same time everyday .Me and my boyfriend have had unprotected sex 3 times and one of the times he came in me (since it was his first time he didn't know how to control it) and the third time,he claimed he pulled out all the way,which i did witness most of it but i was scared some got in...should I be really worried?

Lucy is correct, and I agree with her in principle. There is always a chance of pregnancy, especially during the teen years when varied eating schedules, strange hormonal imbalances due to puberty, and a variety of psychiatrist proscribed medication can do all kinds of fucked up things to your birth control.
Condoms means you don't have issues later.
That said, birth control pills are 99% effective when used correctly in 99% of women. This is defined as preventing what otherwise would have been a pregnancy (in other words, he climaxes inside you within two days either way of your ovulation, etc). The chances that (given your adherence to the daily schedule) you are pregnant are absolutely miniscule.
Its also worth noting, if you went to a gyno and asked he would suggest some alternate forms of birth control.
A diaphragm is one of them, spermicide is another. Both are particularly helpful because while birth control deals with your body and its processes, these other two work directly against the sperm, providing essentially a second overlapping level of defense, which is the same function as a condom.
In monogamous relationships where disease is not a factor, methods other than condoms are just as sound when used in conjunction with birth control. After all, condoms have a failure rate too, and truthfully you're alot less likely to have a diaphragm (or spermicide) break. If you're curious about spermicide, in the same aisle as condoms you can find VCF (Vaginal Contraceptive Film). Just grab a box and read it, or google it. 80 something percent effective at preventing pregnancy with no other contraception, used with birth control its still two lines of defense.
If you decide to give it a try, I'd advise buying some lube, spermicide can sometimes dry you out just a bit. Astroglide is highly recommended (its the best, period)

Whether or whether or not you are on birth control there is ALWAYS a possibility you can get pregnant. I don't know why a lot of young people think the pull out method works... It doesn't. In fact this is one of the many reasons why babies are born. If he did or didn't pull out it DOESN'T made a difference. If you want to be safe then I highly suggest you start using condoms. Birth control and condoms are as safe as your going to get. Don't let the pull out method fool you. Should you be worried...There is ALWAYS a chance the only thing you can do is wait.
