However, I know in most cases they take a while (more than a few days) to come into effect. You cannot rely on this pill until it has come into complete effect, which I suspect will be around a month. Check the box, or call your doctor for specifics.
Regarding the condom, if it broke there is a very good chance you could have gotten pregnant. The good news is that you still have a few days to get a "morning after" pill (like Plan B). You need to take it within a few days of having sex, and the sooner you can take it the better. There will be no real way to know until you get your period (or not) or take a pregnancy test a few days before you should be getting your period. If you take Plan B as soon as possible, though, your chances of unwanted pregnancy are much slimmer. [ Live_and_Learn's advice column | Ask Live_and_Learn A Question ]
just_ask_me answered Monday April 13 2009, 11:46 am: There is always a chance of pregnancy. But with that said, birth control doesn't come into full effect until about a month of taking it, every day. Your body has to get used to it.
I would stay calm, and is there a way you can get Plan B? It's a contraceptive taken within 2 days of your last sexual encounter and it prevents pregnancy. You can get it at a pharmacy and also google it for more info. If you can't get that, just relax and take a pregnancy test in a couple weeks to make sure. I highly doubt you are pregnant though, from the info I gathered from your question. [ just_ask_me's advice column | Ask just_ask_me A Question ]
