A member asked:

Had sex, used a spermicide condom and it did not brake or fall off. my girlfriend is worried about getting pregnant what are the chances? take plan b?

Dr. Donald Alves answered

Specializes in Emergency Medicine

Why?: 'plain' condoms are extremely effective, adding spermicide further increases that efficacy ('belt & suspenders'), no real reason to take 'plan b' and interfere with her homone balance on top of that.
