Question
Hi!  I feel silly asking...but i had sex this weekend and for the first time ever in my life the condom broke.  The guy did not ejaculate but I know there is the pre-stuff that can come out.  So I guess I'm wondering how worried I should be.  He caught it right when it happened so he stopped quickly.  I don't want to run out and get the morning after pill and make myself physically ill and do that to my body if the risk is low.  Thanks for your help!

Answer
Hi Erin,

Thanks for your question and don't feel silly for asking any question. I just want you to know that I'm not a medical professional. However, I have done 19 years of research on these subjects. I would not recommend the morning after pill at all. Please go to this website and click on "morning after pill". http://www.optionline.org
I'm glad that you didn't rush out and do that. You can also email me privately at DWooley97@yahoo.com so we can talk more.

Sincerely,
Diane W.
