Is Plan B Advisable Post Unprotected Intercourse?

So my boyfriend and I were messing around and he put a condom on correctly and went about 2.5 inches at most inside me. He didn t cum or anything, but there might have been some pre-cum. A couple of times, the condom slid down a little bit and then by the end he noticed it had ripped at the base of the condom. I am not sure if any pre-cum got inside of me, and I don t want to become pregnant. Should I take plan B? Please help!

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Getting pregnant by contact with pre-ejaculatory fluid is rare but always carries a risk. It is advisable to emergency contraceptive pill like Plan B in such a case.
Plan B needs to be taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse to avoid accidental or unwanted pregnancy.
The pill would offer protection against pregnancy by causing breakthrough bleeding within 3 weeks from the day of pill intake.
In case you do not get bleeding within 3 weeks, you need to seek medical attention immediately.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
