"I took Bactrim for 3 days while also taking my birth control pill and I was told that it could decrease its effectiveness."

If you have not experienced any significant diarrhea or vomiting while taking your antibiotic, it should not decrease the effectiveness of your birth control pill. Therefore, you can proceed with your 7-day break at the end of your pill pack as usual without the need for additional protection.
