Do I need plan B?

Unread post by Juliaho90 »

Hi there,

I had sex with my partner yesterday where we had a condom slip after he tried to pull out after ejaculation. This was because I kind of moved away before he had a chance to hold on to the base hence it slipped out.

Question is, I am already in Yasmin, I take it religiously everyday between 1030am to 1230pm. Does the accuracy of when I take it everyday matter? I understand we don’t have to take it at the exact same timing each day, just the within the 8 hours before it is considered late?

In my situation, should I get plan b as well?

Hi Juliaho90,

Since it sounds like you're taking your pill consistently (you actually have twelve hours before it's considered late), you can assume you're protected against pregnancy and Plan B isn't needed. Too, how a condom is positioned when it comes all the way off (not just slides up some) matters for the risk; the risk is there if the whole condom is inside you when it comes off, not if part of it is hanging out of the vaginal canal.
