Condom Broke, But I'm On the Pill. Could I Be Pregnant?

Published: April 10, 2018
Dear TeenHealthFX,

I'€™m on the mini pill for about 4 months now. I had sex for the first time and the condom broke. He pulled out and came and said he'€™s 99% sure he didn'€™t come inside me. I take my pills within the same hour everyday. Do I have anything to be worried about?

Dear Condom Broke, But I'm On the Pill. Could I Be Pregnant?,

Since you have been on the pill for 4 months and you have been taking it as directed, it is unlikely you would be pregnant. However, if you are concerned about it TeenHealthFX recommends checking in with your primary care physician, gynecologist or an adolescent medicine specialist.

If you don't have a doctor and live in northern New Jersey, you can call the Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health at 973-971-5199 for an appointment with an adolescent medicine specialist or contact your local teen health center or Planned Parenthood. A Planned Parenthood health center is a good option if you have concerns about cost or confidentiality issues. You can also contact your insurance company for a list of in-network providers.

FX also suggests that you check out the links in our Resource of the Month: Planned Parenthood Resources on Safer Sex so that you can learn about sexual readiness, how pregnancy happens, pregnancy tests, emergency contraception, birth control, STDs and more. The more educated you are about these topics, the more likely you will make healthy decisions for yourself when it comes to your sexual health.
