People don't want to admit that they didn't use a condom, took it off, or did the pull out method. A condom breaking is a Universally accepted "no-fault" way to ask about the success of Plan B.

:thumbsup: Condoms don't break if you use them properly and make sure they're not already broken... I've never had one fail on me.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condom
breakage due to faulty methods of application or physical damage (such as tears caused when opening the package), or breakage or slippage due to latex degradation (typically from being past the expiration date or being stored improperly). Even if no breakage or slippage is observed, 1-2% of women will test positive for semen residue after intercourse with a condom

Experienced condom users are significantly less likely to have a condom slip or break compared to first-time users, although users who experience one slippage or breakage are at increased risk of a second such failure

I wouldnt worry. If the condom had spermicide in it, that probably did half the job. Combined that with a morning after pill, and you probably have a bigger chance of getting hit by a bus today.

Also, the window to get her pregnant is between 5-14 days after her period. If this happened before 5, or after 14, chances are she couldnt get pregnant anyways. I became an expert in the female reproductive cycle after all the stupid sh!t I got away with in college. We didnt have our accident until after we were married, thank god.

even if those %'s are accurate it doesn't mean 15% chance she can get pregnant it is a 15% chance the Plan B won't work... the chances of her getting pregnant would be less 15% and less

The spermicide that is on the condom isn't very effective as there is such a small amount of it...I'm not saying it's 0% effective, but I wouldn't count on it to do all the work if the condom broke...

I went out with the gal and got Plan B the very next morning and she took it that day. Now I'm reading that chances are 95% on some sites, while its saying 75-89% on other sites. What's the deal? Am I safe or am I still 15% chance of her getting pregnant. I have a feeling I'm still under the gun here...

This is one of the most ironic things in life. For the first 25+ years people concentrate on not getting pregnant while having lots of sex. This is also the time when men and women are most fertile.

At some point thereafter, people spend the next 10+ years trying to get pregnant as they become less and less fertile.

:confused:

To the Almighty Mods.

Seriously though, you're most likely fine. I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it.

if you are ina position where you are not ready to accept the consequence of having a baby, then you should not be having sex.

In other news in The Perfect World Which Cannot And Will Not Ever Actually Exist, currency was abolished and an unlimited source of energy which also doubles as a delicious food source was discovered today. News at 11.

The odds are in your favor. I'm going to go with the notion that she would most likely be willing to have an abortion if all else fails.
