Sex slip-up?
| Sun, 05-02-2004 - 9:30pm |
Ok...I have a question for anyone who may have been in this situation/have an answer. Last night, while I was with my boyfriend, the condom slipped off, and we continued to have sex without realizing it for a little while. When we finally realized it, we stopped, and it had totally fallen off. I am not on the pill, but he didn't ejaculate...is there still a chance I could get pregnant? Should I get emergency contraception? Or should I not worry about it since it was only for about 5 minutes?

For the future, you might consider using an additional spermicide with the condom, you can get it in prefilled applicators, as an insert, or a film, and it's good for situations where there's a risk of escapees (spermicide by itself is about 85% effective).
Good luck! The sooner you act, the more effective EC is, so don't take too much time to think about it...

Just to be safe, I took the morning after pill. Put my mind at ease. I would if I were you...
