Condom broke now what

[lucli]

Hi I know it's late but please I need you. Im supposed to have my period in two days (i'm regular 27-30 days aprox). I just had sex, there was no ejaculation because it was hurtful and we had to stop. Then we realized (with the water proof) that the condom was broken (it had a slice). Should I get plan b ??

Hello, Lucli. Welcome to Scarleteen.

Condoms do not need to be tested with water afterwards. Because they are not designed to carry so much liquid is easy for them to break, giving you the idea they didn't work. If and when a condom breaks, it is going to be absolutely visible. Like when a balloon pops. There is no way it goes unnoticed.

Now, because we cannot know if the condom did break or not, is up to you if you would like to take Emergency Contraception. If the condom indeed broke but there was no ejaculation, the risk of pregnancy is low but it remains. If you do choose to use EC, you can do it up to 5 days after the risk. The sooner, the better.

Here is more info you might need about EC:

Thanks if I do take plan b, and my period is supposed to come
In two days. When should
I expect it ???

I'm super confused I really don't want to take it. But I also don't want a baby

Is hard to predict how someone is going to react to Emergency Contraception. It can mess up a little bit with your cycle but nothing that won't get back on track after a month or two.

Thanks so much for your help. I just naught plan b, but I didn't want to take it if it's not necessary. I just don't know if it is necessary. I'm confused. And scared.
