I took the morning after pill but think I might still be pregnant
DEAR DEIDRE: When I slept with my new boyfriend, the condom split.
I took the morning-after pill but I haven’t had a period and I’m worried I might be pregnant.
I’m 18 and my boyfriend is 19. We’ve been together for a few months.
I came off the pill when I split up with my ex. So when my new boyfriend and I got together we used condoms.
One night, I realised the condom had broken. Panicking, I went to the pharmacy the next morning and took emergency contraception.
I do suffer from irregular periods but it’s been two months and I haven’t had one.

DEIDRE SAYS: You’d be very unlucky to get pregnant having taken the morning-after pill within hours of sex but you’ll only know by taking a pregnancy test.
Talk to your doctor about your periods as there may be a better pill for you. My support pack about contraception explains more.
