Taking two birth control pills even immediately after sex won't prevent any unplanned pregnancy. However, you were certainly wse to use the condomn. If you want to be protected from pregnancy; you should take the morning -after pills. The other birth control that you could use would be in the Norplant. This is applied under the dermis;. This way you don't have to worry .It stays in your system the whole time.
In most likelihood; you should be protected from pregnancy.- by the use of the condomn. There is only approximately 4-6 days that you are fertile in your ovulating cycle. If you had unprotected sex during those periods.. Then you're doomed. .

No you are not... if you just started BCP's it takes a good week or two to be "fully" protected, and even then, it is only 99% effective.
You also shouldn't have taken two BCP's the same day (I'm assuming that is what you did) after sex, it does nothing but give you a double dose of hormones.
You need to read the pamphlet that came with the pills and take them as directed.
