My girlfriend and I had sexual intercourse using a KS condom, but it tore. I am certain that I did not ejaculate, and she did not feel wet inside. Her next period is expected on 20/03/26.

It is advisable for your girlfriend to take one i-Pill (Levonorgestrel) as soon as possible, ideally within 12-24 hours and no later than 72 hours after the condom tore, even if ejaculation did not occur or she did not feel wetness inside. Taking it promptly reduces the risk of pregnancy, as pre-ejaculatory fluid can still cause fertilisation. She can wait for her period and monitor for any changes, but taking the i-Pill is safer.

It is advisable for your girlfriend to take one tablet of the i-Pill (Levonorgestrel 1.5 mg) as soon as possible, ideally within 12 hours and no later than 72 hours after the condom tore, even if ejaculation did not occur or she did not feel wetness inside.

🩺 Important Points

  • The i-Pill is a single-dose emergency contraceptive that helps prevent pregnancy by delaying ovulation or preventing fertilization.
  • It should be taken with food to reduce stomach upset.
  • If vomiting occurs within 3 hours of taking the pill, she should consult a doctor as the dose may need to be repeated.
  • Side effects can include nausea, headache, dizziness, and spotting, but these usually resolve quickly.

⚠️ When to Seek Medical Advice

  • If her period is more than a week late after the expected date.
  • If she experiences severe abdominal pain or heavy bleeding.
  • If she has any allergic reactions or persistent side effects.

Waiting for her period is an option, but taking the i-Pill promptly reduces the risk of unintended pregnancy after contraceptive failure. It is best to consult a gynecologist for personalized advice and follow-up.
