I accidentally bit into my birth control pill before swallowing it. I'm worried if this affects how well it works. Should I take another pill just to be safe, or is it okay to stick with my usual dose?

I'm a female having issues with my sex life. I used to have a really healthy sexual relationship with my boyfriend, but for the past few months, I just haven't been feeling the urge to connect like before. It's been over six months now. I tried to get things going once, but ended up feeling pain which didn't happen earlier with the same partner. I'm kinda worried about what's going on with me and wondering what I can do to get things back to normal. Any ideas?
