Q: Broken Condom!

Hello. I was curious to know if I stopped taking my birth control in January because it was giving me horrible side
effects and I had protected sex but the condom broke, would it be helpful to start taking my birth control again the
same day to prevent pregnancy or should I take Plan B?

Plan B, the pill isn't going to prevent pregnancy for that day if you haven't been on them regularly. How long ago did this happen? Reason I ask is because if you have already conceived the plan B pill will not effect an already fertilized egg.
