Hi.
I can understand your situation.
As per the history given you are likely to have contraceptive failure (broken condom) which is as good as having an unprotected sex and that may result in pregnancy.

To prevent an unwanted pregnancy you need to take an emergency contraceptive pill like I-Pill (Levonorgestrel 1.5 mg) within 72 hours following the sexual act. It is 95% effective in preventing pregnancy. This pill is more effective the sooner after intercourse it is taken.

To be more effective it should be taken within 72 hours, however it can be taken within 5 days of unprotected sex.

Hope this answers your query.
