Hon, you were given instructions with your birth control as to which pills to take. If you take them correctly in the order you are supposed to, at the same time every day, then there is very little chance of becoming pregnant if no condom was used. The pill is used by many married women whose husbands don't use condoms because they both were tested and know they don't carry any STD's. The one use of condoms is as a contraceptive. The other use is for protection against STD's. If you are on the pill and taking it correctly, you're protected against pregnancy. If you take it in correctly, miss days (doubling up at other times) your risk of getting pregnant rises. If you only forgot condom but are taking pill, then the risk with neither of you have been tested for STDs, is a risk to contracting an
sexually transmitted disease. If you know thru papers from a clinic testing that he is disease free, then you have no worry at all, no disease, no baby.
There is a product called the morning after pill or also known as Plan B. Every pharmacy has it and it can be obtained without prescription. This is an emergency product only to use if you have not been taking/using any birth control, or if condoms used and they break of slip off or have leakage on the sides. The plan B is much the same as what you take in the daily pill except for tons greater in strenghth for just one pill so it can have lots of bad side effects for sure even if you didn't get any on the pill. There is a time limit to plan B's ability to still be effective so it must be taken within 5 days after. But by the 5th day, the chances that it will work are reduced and every hour and day that go by from time of sex to taking the pill, its effectiveness lessens. So if this is needed, which in your case doesnt sound like unless you've taken the trigesrel haphazardly, you shoulddn't need the Morning after/plan B pill. I will attach a link to this same info which explains another emergency contraceptive you can only get if its approachng your fifth day but its with Dr. prescription.
If you are forgetting to time your trigestral on time or suffer too many side effects, you may want to try another type of contraception. Theres the shot that lasts for a couple months so its a non fuss of the hormonal birthcontrols. If you don't want the hormonal ones, there is a good option in the copper IUD intrauterine device. i had this installed when I g ot married as we didn't want kids right away. Theres no remembering to take anything and its good for around 10 years and can be removed any time you are ready to try for a child. Its more expensive up front but that a one time cost which if calculated over the months and years, ends up way cheaper than any other contraceptive out there.
I hope this gives you enough information. I would advise you call the Dr office that prescribed your pill and let them know of the situation and ask them what you should do. They will know best. DO it now!

Your question is unclear, so it's difficult to give you any good advice.
I think you would be best to talk to a doctor, or even a pharmacist, or call a place like Planned Parenthood and ask them for advice. Planned Parenthood also has a text service you can use to ask questions over text messages. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
If you are taking trigestrel, which is a birth control pill, you should just keep taking it normally. Any other questions should be put to someone who knows about sexual health. Please don't try to take any trigestrel pills as 'morning after' pills.
