    Ye, that happened me just before Christmas, unprotected sex, most fertile time, took the morning after pill and I was fine, no babies on the way, but I did do a pregnancy test a few days later, just to put my own mind at ease.

    You are pretty safe. It's not impossible that you could still get pregnant, but it's pretty damn unlikely. MAP after 5 hrs would have a lower chance of their being a pregnancy than there was if there'd been no detected mishap with the condom. (Remember, there's no such thing as safe sex, only degrees of safer sex).

    I'd recommend you take a pregnancy test when enough time has passed, but more because it'll stop you freaking out than because of the small remaining risk.
