If you've taken all the pills according to the directions then you should be fine. You don't need to wait every month to be safe, it works continuously.

Yeah but my question is, if I had my period, and it is the second or third day of my period, so its the third day of the pill, is it safe to have sex without condoms? Do I have to be takoing the pill atleast one week or something after everytime I get my period?

I think it might be but really not for sure. You may just have to ask your doctor about it.

Have you taken it for a whole month already?
If so then you are fine. Like I said, it will work continuously. You are still covered, even during your week off while you are on your period. Also the next week while you start taking the pills again.
