Question
I am on the pill and have been for a few years, i have a horrid feeling i may have skipped a pill in the first line but am not sure.  My boyfriend and i were having sex using a condom as we always do, but he stayed inside me with it on while he shrunk and the condom leaked, im sure it was only on the opening to my vagina but obviously cant be sure.  Should i be worried?

Answer
Dear Amanda,

Well, you should be a tiny bit worried, but that's all.  If this happened within 2 or 3 days ago, there is a website that can tell you how to use your own brand of birth control pills as Emergency Contraception:

Take a home pregnancy test when 2 weeks have passed since this (sex when condom leaked) happened, just to know for sure that you aren't pregnant.

Best wishes,
