Condom broke, on birth control

Unread post by Lilacjeans »

So recently I had sex with my boyfriend, and after he came we noticed the condom broke. I’ve been on the pill for about a year now, but I had missed my pill two days ago and only took one the next day. I hadn’t taken my pill yet on the day it happened (earlier today), but I took it right after. Should I get plan b? Am I at risk for getting pregnant? What should I do?

Hi lilacjeans,

A missed pill should always be taken as soon as you realize you have missed it, but there is likely no risk from one missed pill or a need for EC. However, if it would make you feel more comfortable to take Plan B, if it's been five days or less since the incident that is still an option available to you.

If you're not sure why the condom broke, I suggest taking a look at this article, to help you avoid having to deal with a similar situation in the future: https://www.scarleteen.com/blog/heather ... n_it_wrong
