View allSo, my boyfriend and I are kind of new to having sex, and last night we used a condom, but it broke. He's using those Trojan ultra thin ones. He hadnt ejaculated, only pre-cum, and he did go to the bathroom several times after his last ejaculation, so he wasnt too worried about any leftover semen. The condom broke right at the tip, and we quickly got a Plan B pill, but this is the third time weve relied on Plan B, though its our first time this year. Should we be worried about me possibly getting pregnant?

what's the best option for abortion between surgery and pills if i want to minimize pain for my girlfriend
Pills are less invasive but may cause more bleeding; surgical abortion is quicker—choose based on gestational age and safety.

I'm a month pregnant and I took a period tablet recently. Can that cause an abortion or will it make my period start again? I'm really anxious and need to understand what might happen.
