Before I start, i'd like to say that I would appreciate that my choices made are not shamed. I am simply here to ask for help. I will start by providing basic information about myself and my partner, then I will continue talking about the issue and the actions I have taken to reduce the risk of pregnancy. I'm an 18 year girl, around 60 kgs and 163 cm tall. I take no prior medications. I do no smoke nor do I drink. I do not have a history of medical conditions. My boyfriend is 21, 75 kgs and 186 cm tall. He takes no prior medications. He smokes but does not drink. Me and my boyfriend had sex a few hours back and the condom broke. He ejaculated inside me as a result. As soon as we found out the condom broke I tried cleaning out the semen with tissue and peed. I washed my vagina with water and shoved tissue inside it to clean out any of the remainder seminal fluids. I cleaned myself twice. We live in a country where plan b and the abortion pill aren't available. I do have access to birth control but have not been on it for a while. I took birth control for a week on the 24th of may, and stopped it. A week later after I stopped the pill I got my periods from the 6th to the 9th of june. I've been keeping track of my periods on flo and it predicted that my ovulation cycle lasts from the 10th to the 22nd of june. The app also predicts my day of ovulation to have occurred on the 17th of june. According to what knowledge I have the egg supposedly only lasts for 24 hours. Once again, we had sex on the 23rd of june, which is today. The birth control I have access to is yasmin, 0.03 mg of ethinylestradiol and 3 mg of drospirenone. I have heard that as per the yuzpe method it is recommended to take 0.1 mg-0.12 mg of ethinylestradiol along with 0.5 mg of levonorgestrel. The progestin levonorgestrel is a second generation progestin whereas drospirenone is a fourth generation progestin. I decided to take 4 pills around 3 hours after we had sex. I have heard that I should take another 4 after 72 hours. I would like to know if this would help at all in reducing the chance of pregnancy. It is illegal in my country to have sex outside of marriage so going to the doctor would get us in serious trouble. I plan on waiting a week for my period as I anticipate it in 9 days but hopefully it comes around faster with the pills. If my period doesn't come along i'll take a pregnancy test and find another way to proceed if it turns out positive. I would like to know if there's anything additional I should do in order to reduce my chances of pregnancy. Do I increase the dose of birth control any further? What are the signs and symptoms I should look out for if I am pregnant? Any advice is welcome.

There is nothing more to be done now since you have done everything you could have done. So relax and hope for the best. Of course you have to take a pregnancy test in case of missed periods.

You have written clearly about contraception. So I can tell you you have effectively used the 4 pills within 24 hours and repeated the dose .this is called interception. There is no chance for you to become pregnant during this cycle. Still you have doubts, do upt after missing the periods.

Hi only 4 tabs of drosperinon is enough no need to repeat. It is not advisable that in a month you do unprotected sex and every time you take the pill. It is for once a while. Your pd will come within 7 days can contact me on librate.

Hi. Yes I understand your problem. You followed everything very well but safety is better than to regret it later. Use ocps along with condom for better contraception as just condoms failure rate is more as you experienced .and wen you use ocps never misss a single dose. U should remember that. And one more thing please do not follow harsh methods like cleaning with a tissue inside the vagina all that, as that method will not help because there will be millions of sperms in the semen and only one sperm will meet with your egg but it depends on the egg release time. According to your case I cannot confirm but as you follow everything like using pills and little later than the egg release date. There are less chances that you conceive. But wait for one more week and get a pregnancy test if your periods do not come. Every patient will not have pregnancy symptoms so early. Before symptoms your test will become positive. To your knowledge symptoms will be like breast tenderness, nausea, vomiting, increase in frequency of urine. Few of these symptoms will be before your arrival of your periods too. So just wait for your periods and see. Don’t get stressed and worried hope it ll be negative. Stay safe.
