my girlfriend was visiting for the
weekend, and the first night she was there
we had sex but I did not ejaculate, and
threw the condom out. a day later, we went
into the trash to check the condoms, all
were fine, except for the one we used the
first night - which had a small tear in it
(maybe a cm long, at most). It was a
spermicidal condom, and we're not sure
when/where it ripped, as it had been
sitting in the bottom of the trash for 2
days (and when i pulled it out, it was
stuck to a pepsi can down there - gross, I
know, but it could have ripped then/been
cut by the can). Also, I did not ejaculate
at all, and had urinated multiple times
since the previous time I had ejaculated -
so theoretically there should have been no
sperm in the pre-cum. Just to be safe, we
went and bought Plan B. From all of this,
it sounds to me like the chance of her
getting pregnant is very low - am I
correct? I guess I'm just looking for
reassurance here, b/c I've been worrying a
lot even though I keep telling myself that
all this means it should be ok....
Thank you very much, and happy new year!

if she took plan b within 5 days and
better yet the first 3 after you had sex
then yes everything should be fine

plan b isn't as effective as its made out
to be.. but the fact that you used a
spermicidal condom and didn't ejaculate
makes me think you're more than ok

time and it wasnt more than 5 days after

Yes, I agree with what everyone has said.
The only reason Plan B doesn't work well
all of the time is because it works by
delaying ovulation. If a person has
already ovulated, there is nothing Plan B
can do.
Labeling for Plan B and other emergency
contraceptive pills (also known as
"morning after pills" or "day after
pills") that contain only the hormone
progestin states that the treatment
reduces your risk of pregnancy by 89%*.
This doesn’t mean that 11 percent of
women will get pregnant using these pills.
It just means that this type of emergency
contraception prevents 89% of the
pregnancies researchers would expect to
happen when women don’t use birth
control, their regular contraceptive
fails, or they are forced to have sex (in
other words, they have “unprotected
sex”). Usually, if 100 women have
unprotected sex one time during the second
or third week of their monthly menstrual
cycle, 8 of them will get pregnant. But if
those same 100 women use Plan B, only one
will get pregnant. Put another way, this
is an 89% reduction in the expected number
of pregnancies. And if you take these
progestin-only emergency contraceptive
pills within the first 24 hours after sex,
they reduce your risk of pregnancy by up
to 95%.
