_Broken Condom and Plan B: Assessing Pregnancy Risk and Next Steps_

Given the situation, here's a summary of the risks and recommendations:

_Pregnancy Risk_

1. _Low risk_: Although the condom broke, your partner had not ejaculated, and he had urinated multiple times after his last ejaculation, reducing the likelihood of sperm being present.
2. _Pre-cum risk_: Pre-ejaculatory fluid can contain sperm, but the risk of pregnancy from pre-cum is relatively low.

_Plan B Effectiveness_

1. _High effectiveness_: Plan B (levonorgestrel) is highly effective in preventing pregnancy when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex.
2. _Repeated use_: Although you've taken Plan B multiple times, its effectiveness remains high. However, it's essential to consider alternative birth control methods to avoid frequent emergency contraception use.

_Next Steps_

1. _Wait for your period_: Monitor your menstrual cycle and wait for your period to confirm that you're not pregnant.
2. _Consider alternative birth control_: Discuss alternative birth control methods with your partner, such as hormonal contraceptives, IUDs, or condoms with a higher failure rate.
3. _Consult a healthcare provider_: Schedule an appointment with a healthcare provider to discuss your birth control options and any concerns you may have.

_Important Notes_

1. _STI risk_: Although you used protection, it's essential to consider the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Discuss STI testing with your healthcare provider.
2. _Regular check-ups_: Regular health check-ups and open communication with your partner are crucial for maintaining a healthy relationship and addressing any concerns that may arise.
