It's possible. You'd have to wait a couple of weeks or more to test though.

First of all get yourself to a pharmacy or a planned parenthood, and go get the morning after pill. The cost can range from 10 dollars to 45 dollars, so be sure that either you or your boyfriend has the money. The pill has a high effective rate if taken within 72 hours, so the faster you take it the better. If you are not 18, and your boyfriend is 18 or older, he can get it for you. If you are younger than 18, you can still go to a planned parenthood, and after being seen by a physician, you can get the pill. If you don't have money to get the Plan B pill, then my best recommendation, would be to not worry and relax, because if you start freaking out and stressing out, I can assure you, that your period will either come late or not come for a while, freaking you out even more. There is a new pregnancy test, that can detect pregnancy earlier than the others, but I believe is more expensive. I recommend you don't wait until after your missed period, because that will lead to more complication and worry, and if you believe in abortions, don't wait until it reaches that point because it can cost you upto 300 dollars sometimes, might as well try to avoid the economic as well as emotional and physical damage that that can lead to, so find 45 bucks maximum and get the Plan B, is extrememly easy, and very few people get any side effects at all. And responding to the comment written above mine, the morning after pill won't cause a miscarriage and doesn't flush anything out, research before you freak out the girl more. If you're pregnant, the morning after pill will not cause a miscarriage, it is not a form of abortion, and they will tell you that at a pharmacy, in a GYN, and in Planned Parenthood, as well as the Plan B pill box will inform you, as the first warning, do not take if already pregnant, or if you think you are already pregnant, because it does not stop a pregnancy. That and the fact that people that respond should not be judgemental, this girl is asking for advice, and for all we know she might not be a little girl at all, either give helpful, adult advice, or regard your comments to yourself. At one point or another, we've all had a scare, doesn't matter the age.

Yes you can get pregnant if if the man does not "come" as fluid escapes during sex. So if the condom broke it is anyone's guess..If you think it is possible use the "morning after" pill obtainable I think at the pharmacy. Not sure about a doctors prescription but ask the question on the search engine..
Here is the answer if you are over 18 no problem under 18 need a doctors prescription so go look up the link below.

What good is a pharmacy going to do you? If you are under age 18 you can't get the morning after pill anyway. If you didn't want to get pregnant now you shouldn't have had sex...that's the ONLY sure fire remedy against pregnancy. Besides if an ovum has been fertilized there is no "getting" pregnant about it...you are. Yeah the morning after pill will cause you to have a period and therefore a "miscarriage" by "flushing" out the egg from implanting in your uterus but it is only 85% effective and if the fertilized egg hasn't dropped from the tubes by the time you have the "mini period" it can still implant and you can still be pregnant. But if you are 18 or older go get the morning after pill and make an appointment with your doctor in about 6 weeks to make sure it worked.

You might be pregnant. A home pregnancy test will not let you know until about 5 days before you are supposed to have your period. I would go on line and see if there is a Planned Parenthood in your area. You can get the morning after pill which would prevent you from getting pregnant. It is important to do this right away, I think you have only a couple of days to take this. While you are there you should talk to them about another method of birth control that is more reliable. Best of luck to you.

DONT HAVE SEX!! Its too late now. I mean you can go to get the morning after pill but that doesnt always work and even if you are pregnant you arent going to be able to take a test and get a good reading on it tell about a week before your missed period. I would get the morning after pill from Plan Parenthood and than wait and take the test before your period to see if your pregnant. Maybe this will teach you that you should have sex unless you are ready for a baby.

Go the doctor FIRST THING tomorrow morning and talk to the doc about the morning after pill - there is no way to tell this early if your pregnant but if you really dont want to wait to find out - go to the doctor ASAP.
Waiting overnight isnt too long for this pill to work - Im not 100% sure on this, but I think you have a day or two to use it otherwise its a wait and see game.
Good Luck :o)

Well, every time you have sex you run the risk of getting pregnant. That's what sex is for! So if you don't want to get pregnant, don't have sex. (Seems pretty simple, doesn't it?) But since you are hell-bent on self-gratification, I congratulate you for using a condom. Be more careful though.
And if you ARE pregnant (you might not be...wait 3 weeks, take a preg test) check out this website. Teenaged girls should not be saddled with babies.

You can get the morning after pill when the pharmacy opens in the morning and you will be fine and wont get pregnant once you follow the instructions as how to take it.

usually if the condom broke and this is the first time then you wont get pregnant but then again it does happen. you should wait until your next period if it doesnt come then you should take a pregnancy test but until then unless you want to go see a doctor to see if your pregnant most home pregnancy tests cant predict that soon. so just wait it out i know your nervous but sex does have its consequences
