I have been taking the pill for 4 months and the condom broke…

…I wanted to be extra safe so I took Plan B. What are my chances of getting pregnant?

If you are taking a hormonal birth control method correctly, consistently and all of the time then you are protected from pregnancy 92-99.7% of the time. Emergency contraception (Plan B) can be up to 89% effective in preventing a pregnancy. While there is a chance of pregnancy in your situation, it’s very low. If you don’t get your period on time, it might be a good idea to take a pregnancy test. Since the condom broke you could be at risk for STI transmission so it’s important that you and your partner get tested. For free STI testing, call Teen Clinic at 303.442.5160.
