Yes, if you are taking your birth control pill at the same time every day (or night), you are protected all the time, all 24 hours of the day. You could have sex morning, afternoon or night and be protected, and yes, he can ejaculate inside you without you getting pregnant.
That's what happens in 99% of the cases. One or two out of every 100 women WILL get pregnant while they are still taking the pill, but that's a pretty small number.
The pill does not protect you from sexually transmitted diseases, however -- just pregnancy. If you have any doubts at all about the sexual history of someone you are going to have sex with, you should make sure they also wear a condom. You can get STDs even when you are on the pill.
If you miss a pill, you should take two the next day -- take the one you missed as soon as you remember, and take that day's pill right on schedule.
Are there any more questions we can answer for you?
