hi there, hope somebody can advise me. I started with triquilar (oral contraceptive) a week ago. As it is my first time taking OCA I used backup protection with condoms, but lastnight we had an accident: condom breakage!. This is unbelievable! we were too careful, and the worst thing is that the condom was new! (we bought it yesterday). I am so anxious right now, I cant possible get pg that would be the worst nightmare ever taking on account how careful I was.
What should I do? can anyone adivise me please? should I take emergency contraceptive (plan B)?. help please!

a fact to take in account: I had my period 1 week ago, so is it possible that I ovulate in 1 week?. I had understood that in a normal cycle it takes 14 days after period to reach ovulation.

the question for you is if you started taking your pill on the first day of your menstruation. if so, i think you are not going to be pregnant. but please check with your doctor or atleast read the insert that came with your pill. if it said that when you first take the pill when will it become effective. but most pills said that if you start pill 1 on the 1st day of your menstrual cycle, you are immediately protected and you don't need back up protection. and others start at the sunday after the first day of your menstruation, you need back up method for 1 week. so it's effectivity starts after 1 week.

Unfortunately, condoms are never 100% fail safe. Okay, so assuming that you started your new pack on the first Sunday after your period (like you're supposed to) and that you were being a good girl and taking your pill everyday around the same time, you should be fine. If you guys noticed the breakage and stopped right away, you have more of a chance of being fine. If you want to go and get the Plan B pill as a precaution, go ahead and the sooner, the better. It is the most effective within the first 72 hours of unprotected sex. As for this ovulating every 14 days, this is a myth that was recently disproved. A woman's ovaries can release an egg any time they want to. It can be during her period, before her period, at 14 days etc. Just like every woman doesn't get her period at the same age, we don't all ovulate at the same day of our cycles.

It is possible for you to be pregnant. The pill takes a month for it to be truly effective, and you can get pregnant at any time during your cycle if you happen to release an egg. A friend of mine got pregnant during her period because she didn't use birth control thinking she was safe. I'd get the plan B (is it safe to use with the pill? I've never heard one way or the other) just to make triply-sure. It is unlikely that you're pregnant, but you really don't want to bet on it.
