    Condom broke! Could I be pregnant?? Help!!
    My boyfriend and I had sex earlier tonight and the condom broke. He always pulls out before he ejaculates, so this time he did too and ended up getting all his stuff on the floor and his hand. We didn't find out about the broken condom until after he came out. I'm scares I could get pregnant. My last period started July 28th and there is usually 28-30 days between periods. The day the broken condom happened was August 13th. I'm pretty sure I ovulated earlier this week, my stuff down there got really stringy and then it got really sticky. And nothing has really come out since the sticky day. I have no idea what I should do, if I could get pregnant, or anything. (I would go to planned parenthood for advice but they don't open until Monday... )I'm really scared and I need some opinions and advice! Help!!

    Depending on where you are in the world you can get plan b from a chemist, there are usually one or two open on a Sunday.

    If you need a prescription there should be an emergency doctor on call in your area or call the hospital ER department for advice.

    The recommended time frame for plan b is within 72 hours, and as soon as possible,it does not guarantee no pregnancy but the odds are greatly reduced.

    As red suggested you can try to get a Plan B pill ASAP. There is nothing else we can tell you now other than that. You should have washed yourself out as thoroughly as you could immediately afterward. But its too late for that.

    Whether you are pregnant or not we can't say now. Even if you get a Plan B today and take it there are no guarantees it will work, though there is a high likelihood.

    But I have to comment on what I quoted. If you are so scared of pregnancy, then why are you engaging in sexual intercourse? Anytime you do, no matter what protection you use, you risk pregnancy. No form of birth control is 100% effective. Even multiple forms only reduce the risk, not eliminate. I hope this scare will teach you not to engage in sexual intercourse until you are ready to have a child.

    I tried to wash myself out best I could. I went to the bathroom right after and about a hour later I washed myself out.

    Ok, so you are going to be clean and pregnant, You were given advice, get to a ER or doctor or clinic ASAP but no latter than 72 hours. The longer you wait the less effective plan B is.

    And of course people that use pull out method are normally called parents at some time since it merely lowers the amount of sperm,

    There is plenty of sperm in the early fluids.

    It is great you were using a condom

    So you now have to wait, ( too early for pregnancy test) till you either have or miss your next period
