my husband's condom broke. i'm currently on bc and we used a plan b after. i finished a zpack about 10 days ago should i be worried about pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: If you have been taking birth control pills regularly up until this time, then it is unlikely that you ovulated this cycle.  Also, using Plan B within a few days of the broken condom decreases your risk.  Nothing is 100%, however.  You may have some irregular bleeding after Plan B for a little while.  Keep taking your birth control pill regularly.  Take a pregnancy test 2-3 weeks later to be sure.
