If your condom broke during sex, or you have missed your contraceptive pill, or the effectiveness of your contraceptive at preventing pregnancy has been otherwise affected you may need emergency contraception. Your doctor will be able to tell you how the effectiveness of your pill can be affected, and you should always read the packet of your contraception.
