Pill user but condom broke

Unread post by holymoly »

As a preface, my birth control has 28 pills, 24 blue ones with both progestin and estrogen, two with only estrogen, and two inactive pills. I've been on it for three and a half/four months, and I take it at almost the exact same time every day, I've never missed a pill. My partner and I always use condoms but recently it broke and we realized after. I had just taken my last blue (progestin and estrogen) pill and tomorrow I am supposed to take my estrogen-only one, and in two days, I take my inactive ones. Do I need to take Plan B, since I am taking an estrogen-only pill tomorrow and am going to take the inactive ones soon???

Thanks!

Hello there, Holymoly. Welcome to Scarleteen. :)

As long as you take your pills on time and without missing any -- which sounds like you do! -- there is no need for Emergency Contraception. If and when someone is taking Birth Control pills, the protection works on the whole cycle. You can learn more about this, here: http://www.scarleteen.com/article/advic ... ebo_period
