Condoms

i was wondering if you were having sex and the condom broke and you took it out right away but your partner didnt ejaculate yet if the pre ejaculation could get you pregnant or would the condom have killed it?

Birth control and the morning after pill are two different things. Emergency contraception (the morning after pill) is a high dose of hormones that helps to prevent ovulation in an emergency situation and can be taken up to 5 days after unprotected sex, though the first 24 hours is when the pills are most effective. Regular birth control pills are to be taken every day at the same time for 21 days, then 7 days off (which is when your period comes). Some pills, like Yaz are taken for 24 days with 4 days off, but they aren't recommended for everyone. And yes, birth control pills do help prevent pregnancy, but like condoms they aren't 100%. This is why when you are on the pill, you should still have a backup method such as condoms or spermacide.

It's not as likely that you would be pregnant, but still possible.  The condom won't have killed the sperm unless it had spermicide (sp?) on it.  If it was just a day or two ago you can still get the morning after pill if you're that concerned.  You should definently look into birth control though.
