Question:
me and my b/f were having protected sex and I was on my stomach the condom broke and he ejaculated but pulled out halfway into the ejaculation. I went to clean up and saw sperm on my underwear. Not to mention he went off 30 min before this orally and I have my period in 5 days. Can I get pregnant? if so what are the odds?

Yes, there could be a chance of pregnancy from what you have described, as it sounds like his semen entered your vagina when the condom broke. Unfortunately, I cannot give you exact odds of pregnancy. Usually, a woman has a greater chance of pregnancy around ovulation, or when the egg is released from the ovary. Ovulation usually occurs 14 days before menstruation (when your period starts). How regular is your cycle? You may have just passed the point where pregnancy could occur. It sounds like from what you have described that you have passed your fertile point in your cycle, but some women have conceived later in their cycle.
If you are concerned with pregnancy, you may want to consider another birth control method that can help protect you in case a condom breaks, such as oral contraceptives (the pill), or the patch, or Depo-Provera (an injection given once every three months). Having a back-up method can help reduce stress of worrying about pregnancy.
Also, using condoms correctly can reduce the chance of breakage. Some reasons condoms break include using oil-based lubes, such as vaseline, on latex condoms, the condoms weren't stored properly, or expired, not enough lubricant, or damage to the packaging, among others. A good website that you may want to visit in order to read more about proper condom use and other methods of birth control would be the Planned Parenthood websites at: www.plannedprenthood.org
