Yes, you are in a bit of risky waters right now. If I were you, I would definitely be sure to take the follow up home pregnancy test a week after your period should have started. Taking any kind of emergency contraception that late (i.e. 60 hrs or even 72 hrs) is really pushing it. Your highest probability for ?success? is when you take Next Choice or Plan B or the I-Pill right away after a condom breaks. As the clock ticks further away from the ?incident,? you?re merely increasing your probability for the egg to become fertilized after which it then attaches itself to the wall of your uterus. Next Choice or Plan B can do the following three things: 1) The pill may stop an egg from being released from the ovary. 2) If an egg has already been released, the pill may stop the sperm from fertilizing the egg. 3) If the egg has already been fertilized, the pill may prevent the fertilized egg from attaching itself to the wall of your uterus.
