Dear Friend,
By any way, if the sperms enter the vagina, there is all the chance for the woman to conceive. When the condom has broken during withdrawal, the sperms must have been spilt into the vagina. To avoid such accident, the tit of the condom should be pinched in fingers to expel the air within while putting it on. The trapped air leads to rupture of condom due to increased pressure inside the tit.
You should take emergency birth control pill ideally within 24 hours but not later than 72 hours of this accident to protect you from the pregnancy.
If you miss period, get your urine tested for pregnancy to assess the situation. Then you may go for termination of pregnancy up by medicines before 9 weeks of pregnancy, if needed.
