Pregnancy?

I started taking birth control on the previous Sunday according to the pills I have to take it for 7 days for it to be effective, after that it will be completely effective. Yesterday was the 7th day and I had sex and the condom broke. I'm not sure if I should get a plan B tomorrow or if the birth control is enough. Also, I took plan B the day after Valentine's day. I don't want to cause any damage to my reproductive system because I do plan on having babies in the future.

If you took the pill the first day of your period, you should be protected. If you took the pill after your period started, you may not be completely protected, but the chances are still good that you have protection. You will not "damage'' your fertility by taking plan b.
