We were prepared enough to have sex and we bought Trojan condoms and vcf films to help us prevent from me getting pregnant. I had inserted a VCF film for the first time and failed I tried 2 more times to the point where I was able to actually insert it in my vagina without it coming back on my fingers I just didn't think it was far in enough waited 10 minutes than began he kept adjusting the condom making sure it still had the half in inch where it wouldn't break and for it catch pre cum. As we started going we noticed all this white stuff that was from the VCF film so we stopped and he removed the condom wrapped it and threw it away after he took it off he started pre cumming a lot and it dripped ... So than I again tried to put in another VCF film this time it actually inserted well again but still not sure if it was far in enough so I stuck my finger again and pushed the film as far as my middle finger was able to go and we let it dissolve this time for 20 minutes . I got him hard again so he would be able to put on a fresh new condom and than we went at again still taking pre caution of the condom but towards the end it broke and he immediently pulled out this time his penis was dry and we saw no pre cum ... I didn't insert another film at this point because he had than just put another condom and went at it again since we were within the hour frame from that film which at the the third time he was able to ejaculate he knew he was so immiediently pulled out and took of the condom and gave himself a hand job to finish the job and cum ... today I have probably (hopefully ) successfully put 3 films in ... Should I take pre caution of the broken condom ? Just a little worried and trying to prevent pregnancy as much as we could today . What are the chances and should I take plan b to make it certain not to get pregnant?
Should I Take plan b, used vcf film but condom broke?

'Half an inch to catch precum'?! You hold the teat closed by nipping it shut & holding it whilst you roll down the condom. You don't leave half an inch! No wonder it burst! You'll have had air trapped in it by putting it on like that!
No, you don't need emergency contraception. You've already used 2 methods of birth control, you do not need a third.
Well that's what we had read about but we made sure all the air bubbles were out and such but I won't be needing the emergency contraceptive?

In days before condoms had a teat, maybe, but that's what the teat is for. Just nip it whilst rolling it down.
No, you do not need emergency contraception.
What I mean is that you don't need half an inch, plus the tip. The tip will do.
Have you checked the date on the condoms? It's unusual for them to break like that, several at once?
Yeah we had bought them this morning at our local frys , they were Trojan ultra ribbed lubricated condoms. And these vcf films were really not what I expected I failed on inserting it 3 times , so when I actually inserted it sucessfully I wasn't certain if I even got close to the cervix, reasons why I'm trying towards the EC just be certain no sperm was in that pre cum since he had not peed that whole day from his last ejculation which was last night according to him that's why I got very pre cautious.
Well, his penis wasn't inside you at any point without a condom on it, so there's no risk.
If you want you could consider having an IUD/Coil fitted. That acts as emergency contraception for up to 5 days after unprotected sex, & can be left in place as long term contraception. No need for condoms if there's no risk of STDs.
Not to the point where it broke and he immediately pulled out ( by the way thank you for taking the time answer my comments ! )
Yes, that's what I meant, sorry. The films should have taken care of any pre cum if there was any.
If you're worried then by all means use Plan B or the coil. If you don't think you used the VCF correctly.
I can see on the internet that there are lots of sites advising to leave half an inch, but they don't make it clear if it's additional to the tip or not. Pretty confusing! I've never left more than just nipping the tip, & haven't had any mishaps for a lot of years. The more free condom you leave, the more of the chance air could get trapped in it as you role it, I think.
Perhaps yours broke because you were both very dry, causing more friction? You could use a condom friendly lubricant, which you can put on once the condom has been put on his penis. Might help.
Oh, & you are welcome :)
If I plan to take plan b , when would be good to start birth control, I think we are going this route and than having spermicide gel form as a back up with birth control for future sex later on ? Do you happen to know?
We will try figuring out with these condoms I swear they keep getting complicated. (:
You can take Plan B & then start regular contraception asap
Alright !! Well thank you so much for the feedback again I really appreciated ! :)
You're very welcome. Once you get the hang of it you'll be fine.
