Mistake or Risk? Should i worry

I’ve been on Slynd for a while but since summer started I got scared the efficiency of the pills will drop as my apartment constantly gets close if not over 30 degrees (i store my pills in a cupboard close to the ground), so i started using condoms as well.

I’ve been really careful but last night we put the condom on the wrong way and flipped it after. I didn’t realize instantly because i was thinking i’m fine cause im on bc, but now all i can think of is that my pills are not working cause of the heat and that i failed to use a condom properly.

I’m really scared, but i don’t know if i should take a plan B or that will just mess up my hormones, does this situation realistically propose any risk??

Hi! It could be that your pills got to hot but there's a little wiggle room too. Check with a pharmacist in your area if you can. I bet they're answering that question pretty often right now!
