We're worried that some may have come out of the top and gotten inside her. She takes birth control regularly (because neither of us wants children yet) and has never missed a dose. She's not worried about it, but I can't help but wonder.Do you think there's any chance of her getting pregnant? Should she probably go for the morning after pill? Thanks

No, if she takes BC everyday like she's supposed to, you shouldn't worry. In very rare cases, some women still conceive. I've always taken BC correctly and have never become pregnant, and that was while not being careful at all.

If she's on the pill and taking it regularly she's protected even if you aren't using a condom. If she takes the morning after pill while already on birth control it will just make her feel very sick. The morning after pill is just a high dose birth control pill.
Birth control pills are 99% effective, and that's without condoms and having the man ejaculate inside her. As long as she's been taking her pills regularly there's no reason to think she could possibly get pregnant.

If she has not missed a dose, you have nothing to worry about. Having her take the morning-after pill would be pretty ridiculous - many people, myself included, use birth control alone to prevent pregnancy if we're in a committed relationship with an STI-free partner. Does it work? Well, I've been on it for almost six years. I've had lots of sex, no abortions and no kids. I'd call that a success.
Read the leaflet that comes with your GF's pill packs if you want details about the efficacy of pills as a contraceptive method. If you are still concerned after that, you may want to consider abstinence as your birth control method until you are ready to reproduce. Although failure of correctly used contraceptive methods is statistically unlikely, the only 100% foolproof way to prevent children is not to have sex in the first place, and you sound more than a little paranoid about it :)
