“My period is always really erratic and I took the morning after pill. How can I tell if I missed my period and am pregnant – or if it’s because of the pill?”

After taking emergency contraception it’s normal for your period to be a little later or earlier than usual. EC is pretty good at preventing pregnancy if you take it within five days of unprotected sex, so it’s unlikely you’re pregnant. But you can find out for sure by taking a pregnancy test three weeks after when you took the pill.

Want to have a more regular period and not worry about having to take emergency contraception? Some birth control methods work really well at preventing pregnancy and also help regulate your period.

This is why it’s so important to hold on to the base of the condom when pulling the penis out. If a condom slips off inside your vagina, semen can spill out and cause pregnancy.

Any time a condom slips off or tears after ejaculation, the best way to prevent pregnancy is to take emergency contraception (if you are not currently on another form of birth control). You can use emergency contraception up to five days after unprotected sex. Plan B One-Step is a type of Morning After Pill that is available over-the-counter (without a prescription) at drugstores, no matter how old you are. Other types of emergency contraception require a visit to a healthcare provider.

If you’re sexually active, think about getting on a long term form of birth control to protect against unplanned pregnancy.

What do you do if a condom breaks? Stop immediately, withdraw, remove the broken condom, and put on a new one.

Condoms can break, slip, or leak if they’re not put on and taken off properly. If the condom breaks, emergency contraception can be used to prevent pregnancy. Emergency contraception can be started 5 days after unprotected sex, but the sooner it’s started the better.

And don’t forget: Emergency contraception does NOT protect against STDs.
