Hello,
I am currently on my 1st month of the pill (have used it before for years but I took a break in the past couple months), I do take them correctly, no problems. Last night I was intimate with my boyfriend and the condom unfortunately broke, but I was hoping that the pill would still cover for an unwanted pregnancy. My problem is that today I woke up with a very bad strep throat and now I need to start on the antibiotics right away. I do understand it's safer not to have any relations without a backup plan OR just not have them while I take the Zpack and a week after. BUT, is it a problem that I had relations last night and have to start taking these today? Isn't it possible for semen to live for a couple days? How should I proceed? Do I have to look for Plan B? We cannot afford a pregnancy right now.
Thank you and have a great day.

you should have taken the "morning after pill". i think a sperm can live in a woman's body for 6 to 7 days if your discharge is white, clear and stretchy which helps the sperm in surviving. possibly week after you'll get pregnant on this condition.

you should have taken contraceptives before you contact. but anyway, morning pills are effective so i don't there's much to worry about.

depends. if it's near your ovulation period then there is a chance that you could get pregnant. yes you can still take morning after pills, you can still take it up until 3 days.

usually up to 3 days but it's more effective if you take it within 24 hours. but you can still try. wait for days and you will bleed.

most probably yes! bleeding, spotting or even heavy bleeding is normal. this is supposed to happen after taking morning after pill.

bleedings are normal.usually morning after pill has more side effects than regular birth control.so it is important to see a doctor a week after taking MAP to be sure that it worked and not pregnant and proceed to whatever BCP method you are planning to take.

i had my period right away after i've taken MAP. it was a normal menstrual bleeding except that i had pains or menstrual pain which is unssual. i don't know if it has something to do with MAP.

bleeding is normal to happen after taking MAP. i have tried MAP once and swear not to take it again. MAP has given me severe menstrual cramps. it was very painful that i almost die.

i had severe abdominal pain when i use MAP. but all i cay is it's very effective. so i would still use it for emergency.
