A member asked:

I had my iud removed, was placed on the xulane patch. ive been on the patch for 3 days. my boyfriend and i had sex and although we used a condom it broke and he came inside of me. has the patch been on long enough for it to be effective in my system?

Hard to know: Many OBGYNS recommend a backup form of BC for the first month of any new BC product other than the IUD to be sure your body has adapted to the process. You may or may not have released an egg during the transition & as such some form of morning after pill would be a reasonable option in this situation.
