I was having sex and the condom broke. I felt something weird and I pulled back and the condom was broken. I took the morning after pill just a couple hours after having sex. I really dont want to be pregnant or get an STD. I'm suppossed to get my period in about two weeks. I really hope I get it. should I be worried that I am pregnant. I am really scared and I cant tell anyone because I am so embaressed that this happened to me. After taking the morning after pill I felt a little nauseas all day but it was gone by the next day but I still dont feel my self maybe its because im nervous . What should I do. Thanks
MW8305 answered Wednesday June 13 2007, 7:39 pm: 1.) You and your boyfriend need to discuss your sexual history. He may be able to tell you whether or not he has any STD's. It might be a good idea for the both of you to get tested together. In any case, get tested yourself.
2.) Nasea is a common side effect of the morning after pill. Since you took the pill only a couple hours after intercourse, you should be fine. According to the information that I read, the morning after pill is more effective the sooner you take it. You managed to take it pretty quickly so, from my understanding, your percentage of risk should be LOW, LOW, LOW!!
3.) Try to relax. In a couple of weeks, if you don't start your period, resolve to go to the doctor. You can ask him/her any questions that you may have and they can administer a blood test that will tell you (definitely) whether you are positive or negative. Blood tests are more accurate than at home tests. Don't be embarrassed to speak about this with your doctor. Your doctor is a professional and on top of that... Anything that you tell your doctor is confidential. [ MW8305's advice column | Ask MW8305 A Question ]

The best thing to do is to get a home pregnancy test done and I think they are generally good to use after 2 weeks or so after sex. However, since you are expecting your period at about the same time this might not even be necessary. All you really can do is wait and see if you get your period but do bare in mind that if you start stressing yourself out and such it will effect your period anyway so it might get late just because of that. It won't mean you are pregnant for certain.
As for the worry about STD's was the guy not someone you knew well? I think the best thing to do either way though I would suggest paying a visit to your family doctor (or a family planning clinic) and have a test done there to check if you are all in the clear. If you do opt to go to your doctor don't worry or be scared. This thing (the condom breaking) is very common, believe me it happens to a lot of people and your doctor will sympathize. Just let him/her know that you'd like to get tested for STD's just as a precaution and they will let you know what you need to do or make the arrangements for you.

Just stay calm & try not to freak out. The pill should work, so you should be fine. And you'll only get STDs or AIDS if your boyfriend has them. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]

You need to stay calm too because worring stress will actually slow down your period from comming so that will make you more scared. You basically just have to wait and find out.
