Hello and Welcome to HCM, I have been through your query.
No need to worry about your pregnancy or Taking Contraceptive. During Periods it is safe to have sex even without condom on because the egg which the sperm could fertilize in fallopian tube has left the site of fertilization into the uterus and it cant be fertilized now.
Also you don’t need to worry about the Sperm on the reused condom. As you said you dried the Condom completely, Drying of Sperm causes the sperm to become non-vital and the life span of sperm is just less than half an hour in the room environment or outside the body.
So if you would not have taken Plan B, it still would not have made you pregnant. However, Taking Plan B still is safe and you dont need to worry about anything.
Thanks,
Dr Himayun
