You should not ovulate at all while taking this type of birth control.

If you were not on the pill, then you should ovulate around the 14th day after starting your period. Again, however, when taking full-strength birth control pills every day as directed, you would not normally ovulate at all.

I had intercourse on the 30th and the condom broke. >What are my chances of getting pregnant?

Probably unlikely, since you had taken the pill for 13 days. However, 1-3% of women taking the pill will still become pregnant. If in doubt, most home pregnancy tests will show if you are pregnant about 2-3 weeks after conception.
