confused, please help!

I had sex on saturday afternoon, but the condom split and as i couldnt get hold of the morning after pill, so i took the contraceptive pill for two days afterwards, (which i had handy but didnt regularly take because of bad side effects) thinking that would help somehow?!? My period then came on this morning, so i didnt bother getting the morning after pill, but it is light and painful. Not sure if its the pill that has made my period come on, as i only took a few and then stopped as i was going to get the morning after pill today.
So, basically could i still maybe be/become pregnant? Should i still get the morning after pill? Or will all be ok?

Sorry this is so long and thanks for any comments!! x

The morning after pill can be taken up to 72 hours after intercourse. If you'd gotten it first thing monday then you wouldn't have had to confuse your body by taking a few pills. I doubt they will have had any contraceptive benefits at all.

Yes, there is a definite chance you could still be pregnant.

The contraceptive pill has the same function as using a condom. Taking it for the following two days is like making the bloke who you had sex with where a condom for two days!! :rolleyes: I'm pretty sure that wouldn't help though would it?! :p: You should go get the morning after pill...
