Could you let me know how I should be taking Gutsium tablets along with LesurideMPS? Should I use them before or after food? I'm really curious to get this right.

Broken Condom and Plan B: Assessing Pregnancy Risk and Next Steps

Given the situation, here's a summary of the risks and recommendations:

Pregnancy Risk

1. Low risk: Although the condom broke, your partner had not ejaculated, and he had urinated multiple times after his last ejaculation, reducing the likelihood of sperm being present.
2. Pre-cum risk: Pre-ejaculatory fluid can contain sperm, but the risk of pregnancy from pre-cum is relatively low.

Plan B Effectiveness

1. High effectiveness: Plan B (levonorgestrel) is highly effective in preventing pregnancy when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex.
2. Repeated use: Although you've taken Plan B multiple times, its effectiveness remains high. However, it's essential to consider alternative birth control methods to avoid frequent emergency contraception use.

Next Steps

1. Wait for your period: Monitor your menstrual cycle and wait for your period to confirm that you're not pregnant.
2. Consider alternative birth control: Discuss alternative birth control methods with your partner, such as hormonal contraceptives, IUDs, or condoms with a higher failure rate.
3. Consult a healthcare provider: Schedule an appointment with a healthcare provider to discuss your birth control options and any concerns you may have.

Important Notes

1. STI risk: Although you used protection, it's essential to consider the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Discuss STI testing with your healthcare provider.
2. Regular check-ups: Regular health check-ups and open communication with your partner are crucial for maintaining a healthy relationship and addressing any concerns that may arise.
