Can I Trust Plan B To Avoid Pregnancy In Case Of Unsafe Sex?
My girlfriend started her period on Tuesday January 7th, and it ended on Sunday, January 12th.
On Wednesday, January 15th, I masturbated (decreasing my sperm count).
On Thursday, January 16th we had sex, and the condom broke. A lot of the semen came out (she was above me) but obviously some stayed in.
We immediately rushed out to the store and she took Plan B within 30 minutes.
How worried should I be?

Hello,
Thanks for sharing your health concern with us. There is no need to worry about conception as she is well protected by using the emergency pill within the stipulated time interval. Moreover, presuming that she has regular 28-30 day cycles, you had the intercourse during the safe period prior to ovulation period and again, this is protective. The pill can cause withdrawal bleeding due to its high hormone content. The next natural period also may get delayed by a week or two. Please get further help from your health care provider if she becomes overdue by ten days. Hope this helps.
