Yes, there is a chance of pregnancy any time a condom comes off or breaks during sex. If this happened within the last 5 days, you can come in to get emergency contraception (the morning after pill) [link to emergency contraception page]. Please come in as soon as possible so we can help you get this medicine. If you are not able to come to the clinic, one kind of emergency contraception (Plan B) is available without a prescription at most pharmacies. If this happened more than 5 days ago, then emergency contraception is no longer recommended but you can take a pregnancy test. To get an accurate result, you will want to take the test 10 to 14 days after sex. You can buy an over-the-counter test at a drugstore or visit City Clinic or another medical provider. Planned Parenthood is also a good source for confidential help. To find a Planned Parenthood center near you, visit http://www.plannedparenthood.org/findCenterProcess.asp
