Can I Take Microgynon And Trimethoprim For Water Infection?

I'm age 16 and started taking my first course of Microgynon 30 on the 22nd February.

Because of a water infection I was prescribed Trimethoprim and started taking this on 2nd March (a 7 day course)

Will this affect the Microgynon 30 and shuold I use another form of contraception?
