Hello dear User! Thank you for using HealthCareMagic.
I have gone through your question and i understand your concern.
Here are some sperm-killing products and block the entrance to the uterus:
--Spermicide products, you can have in different forms -jelly,film , suppositories, foams .You have to insert them deep in the vagina before intercorse ( 10-15min before).
The products are used only for one intercorse and are effective only for 1 hour after they are inserted.If you have intercorse after 1 hour, you need to insert spermicide again.
No douche for at least 6 hours after having intercorse .
They don't protect against STD and the chance of getting pregnant is around 28%. They are more effective when they are used with another birth control method ( diaphragm, condom,cervical cap).
--Diaphragm, must be covered with spermicide before you use.It works as a physical barrier and with spermicide the sperm is immobilized and killed. It cab be used for 24 hours,but you have to apply the spermicide as i wrote above. Take the device out after 6 hours after the intercorse but dont let it inside more than 24 hours.
Chance of pregnancy is 20%.
Other product: Cervical Cap, The sponge( contains spermicide, so you don't have to cover by yourself ).
For the condom not to slip off:
-Your partner need to use the right size of condoms, not to loose and not too tight.
-Be sure to put the condom in the right way .
-Hold the base of the condom when pulling out immediately after ejaculation.
-Don't use an expired condom .
Hope the answer is helpful.
Let me know if you have any further clarifications, i will be happy to help.
Take Care!

hey so four weeks ago i took emergency contraception for the condom falling off into me then it happened again last sunday ago and had to take emergency contraception again, so it's been about 6 days since i took the second emergency contraception, then just last night my partner ejaculated inside me using a condom and took it out straight away after sex then when he pulled out the condom was stretched and was about 2 inches off him but still on him then my partner saw white stuff in me that looked white and now we're both worrying that it was his sperm even tho he checked the condom 4-5 times for breakage but the condom wasn't leaking and didn't have any holes in it
what should i do i don't wanna take EC again as i don't want to risk my health and don't want it messing up my hormones any more
is it just lubricant or vaginal discharge
I've also had some pain in both my sides a little bit not like really bad after the second EC

Hello again!
Sorry for my late reply.
Give me some more information so i can calculate the chance of a apossible pregnancy in the future by asking the questions below:
-When did you have your last period?
-Do you have a regular cycle ?
The pain your had after using EC could be side effect of the contraception.
