How Can An Impending Pregnancy Be Avoided?
Hi, my gf and I have been having protected sex for 2 weeks, but there might have been a tear or a hole in the comdom because she is having pregnancy symptoms. I understand the I drug work up to 5 days but what if it s past that time range. What other possibilities do we have to avoide pregnancy. Thank you

Hello dear
Understand your concern
You do not take emergency contraception pill as it will work up to 72 hour after unprotected sex.
First you have to confirm pregnancy by urine pregnancy kit/Blood HCG/ USG if period is missed by 10 days from normal period date. If pregnancy is confirmed, you can use abortion pill up to 9 week. It should be used under advise of gynecologist after USG scan. Mifepristone followed by misoprostol is safe and effective option for abortion.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
