How To Prevent Pregnancy After Unprotected Sex?

I had sex with my boyfriend yesterday and used a condom. After we finished, we noticed that the condom was missing. Then I found it, inside me with just the end hanging out. I am on birth control, but I just started it and am just now finishing my first pack. I also just realized that my birth control is the kind that needs to be taken at the same time everyday, which I have not been doing. Do I need to consider emergency contraception?

Hello dear
Understand your concern
You are on the birth control pill but you took it irregular so chance of failure is high to prevent the pregnancy. And chance of failure is also high as you just finished the first pack of pill.
So I advised you to take the emergency contraceptive pill like I pill or Unwanted 72 to prevent the unwanted pregnancy for safer side.
In future use birth control pill regular on the same time without missing any tablet.
Hope this may help you
