Condom, Plan B
*Experienced sexually active individuals, please!
Female, 19
I asked a question yesterday but I am still worried. Could there be a small rip or tear in a condom if all of the ejaculate was collected and in one area on the tip part of the condom. When looking at it, it was literally all in that area where air is left and it is pinched. It was all collected there. I had asked the question with the condom wrapper being opened a little. We had used one and then a week later I went to use another one and the wrapper had been ripped from ripping off the previous one and had a little opening on one side of the wrapper. Many sites and forums have said that the worry with this is that the condom gets dry and can break or rip easier. The condom we used was a spermicidal lubricant and it seemed wet to me (and not wet from my own doing). I am going away today and will stop to get Plan B one step in case but it is a pain because it costs a lot of money that I really don't have because I am a young college student and I am supposed to get my period in a week so I am torn between just waiting or taking the pill but the pill can ruin your period right? Help!

For one thing condoms arnt full proof .sometimes they can tare especaly the real thin ones .but itgs a good practice to use I sugest you use a womens condom also its a ring u insert into the vagina that will kill the sperm ifg the condom has a tare in it .its like a second deffence on not getting prego but in the mean time I would just wsit and see what happens .I think you are fine .just next time take more percaution .it never hurts to be too careful

It's unlikely, but possible.
Unfortunately, this is just what comes along with being sexually active. The answer to most questions where there was no obvious condom failure is "It's unlikely, but possible."
I'd be willing to say, in light of your previous question, your obvious intelligent use and storage of condoms and the fact you asked your boyfriend to be aware of any failure before he took it off (and I assume he didn't mention any concern as he was removing it? right?) that it's probably even "extremely, ludicrously, unlikely."
Plan B doesn't ruin your period, but it can alter your cycle. For most women it’s not by very much and their cycle still starts within a day or two of when it should, or they just have a lighter cycle than usual. It’s still quite effective (89% effective) until 72 hours after sex – so go ahead and use it if you want too. It is a bit expensive, but less expensive than an abortion, and much less expensive than an unplanned pregnancy.
I will say in all honesty though, if you experience this much anxiety over condoms, you might want to consider having an additional method like the birth control pill, patch, shot, something. Sex is always risky, but it’s seems like you experiencing way more anxiety and stress over those risks then is really warranted. You should really try and find a bit more peace of mind if you are going to continue to have sex.
