Brief Answer:
You can take I-pill.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Since the condom the torn, taking I-pill the best way out. You took an emergency contraceptive just a week ago. Taking it so frequently can cause irregular periods. It is best to be careful and start with a regular contraceptive instead.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
