Question : Me and my fiancé had protected sex yesterday. Though it didnt take place properly and the penis wasnt ejaculated properly. But then he had a condom tear and that too not from the tip but from the upper part and at that point of time he was in contact with my stomach and upper side of vagina. So according to me nothing happened but still for the protection i took an i pill today morning.. Was this the right decision or not

Brief Answer:
No harm

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Pregnancy do not occurs until there is ejaculation in the vagina.
If you have taken I pill as a precaution, then there is no harm even if there is no chance of pregnancy.
It can just delay the next expected periods by 2-3 weeks due to its hormonal effects.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
