How much would you worry? (graphic)

OK. I am really embarrassed and worried right now. My bf and I were having sex last night and the condom broke. I don't mean a tear....I mean the top piece was completely torn off and it happened while he was still inside me.
The condom did have a spermicide in it. I am on the pill, but I have only been on it for 2 months. It looks like I should expect to get my period this Sunday.
If you were me, how much would you worry? Should I call my doctor?

If you have been on the pill for 2 months and taken it very well then you should be okay. And if your period is that close away then you are likely in the luteal phase and not fertile.
But you never know.
I would try not to worry - but I would not do that again. You will have to figure out how it happened and be more careful. Keep us posted!!
This happened to me once and I worried enough to go to my doctor about it. He gave me a prescription for Plan B. At the time, I had missed a few pills and was sporadic with my usage, so I was really concerned. But, I agree with Judy, that if you have been taking them consistently for 2 months, you should be ok.
The other thing to consider though is STD's so start having a conversation about that if you haven't already.
Wow - that is good you did that. I will definitely do it the next time.
I have been tested for HIV like 3 times in the process of getting life insurance or health insurance. And I haven't done anything in a long time. So I know I am okay!!
Did you do this before any contact? Or just before not using a condom? Was it your idea? How did you do all that? Sorry to be so detailed/graphic/nosey but that is all new to me....
Uh, no. We were bad kids at first. Then we had a scare, we thought a cold sore I had might have given him genital herpes (sorry, you asked!). We had a whole day of IMing while we researched genital herpes, shared information we had found on the web, and tried not to look at the gross pictures of it. He was so freaked out at first, said that meant we couldn't date anymore, his life was over, etc., etc., but by the end we figured we'd live either way. Because of that we decided to both go get tested for everything and that is what we did. We went to our personal doctors and neither of us had anything, type 2 herpes, HIV or otherwise (although I do get cold sores, and I know now to be careful of that, he didn't have type 1 herpes though). The blister he had, on his um you-know never came back and from that time on. We decided it must have been a, um, friction injury.
But now that I went through that, I see no reason not to do it from the get-go. I also can see myself waiting a while longer to be intimate with a new person, and that will just give me even more of a reason to delay.
