When using condoms correctly, they are quite effective in preventing pregnancy. If your boyfriend uses a condom, and it’s used correctly without breaking or slipping, you generally wouldn’t need to use emergency contraception as a backup. However, mistakes can happen, especially if it’s your boyfriend’s first time using one, so if there’s any uncertainty about whether the condom failed or semen may have entered the vagina, considering emergency contraception (like the morning-after pill) might be an option. This can provide additional peace of mind and help mitigate pregnancy risk in case of condom mishap. As for your PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), which you mentioned having in childhood, birth control pills are sometimes used to manage symptoms related to PCOS, like regulating menstrual cycles or addressing hormonal imbalances. However, whether it’s suitable for you to take them depends on various factors, including any current symptoms, your medical history, and personal health goals. It’s crucial to consult with a healthcare provider to weigh the benefits and potential side effects based on your specific health context. They can guide whether the pill might be a good option for you, considering your PCOS history and any other personal health factors. Also, they might offer alternative contraception methods or treatments if needed based on a full evaluation, ensuring the safest and most effective approach for your particular situation.

Hello dear See protection is always better to avoid chances of ejaculation. So prefer condom If condom is used properly no ocd medication is required If semen is injected into vagina by error also, then chances of pregnancy is there. However presence of pcos may prevent ovulation cycle. So for safety and exact clarification consult gynaecologist in person and for safety please donot take any medication without consulting the concerned physician Regards
