Depending on your definition, you actually had "protected sex" with your boyfriend, since you are using birth control pills. Protected sex from pregnancy means using protection (birth control), including barrier methods (condoms) and/or hormonal contraceptive methods (pills, ring, etc.).
Protected sex from STDs/STIs would only include the barrier methods of contraceptive (male or female condom).
As long as you are taking your birth control (pills?) consistently and correctly every day, then they are 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. Only thing better than that is abstinence from sex (100% effective!).
There are so many reasons for nausea, that it is not a good indicator of pregnancy. An indicator of pregnancy would be a missed period (or no bleeding) during your "non-hormonal pill days" (or week of "sugar pills").
