welp the condom broke

while doing the deed, the condom broke. my cycles are very long, 35-40 days. my period tracker says i ovulated 10 days ago. let’s say it can still have a margin of error up to 3 days. how likely am i to get pregnant 7-10 days after i ovulated and around 4 days before my period should start?

What can you do if you had unprotected sex but you’ve already ovulated (over a week ago)?

From what I understand, Plan B only works if you HAVE NOT ovulated, because it delays ovulation, giving the sperm time to die out. So taking Plan B after you’ve ovulated is pointless.

But is there anything I can do now, an estimated 9-10 days after ovulation and my fertile window (yes, my cycle is pretty long), to reduce the chances of getting pregnant? I know the chances of getting pregnant at this point are fairly low already, but I want to avoid it as much as possible.

From my research, the only method I found is getting an IUD, which prevents implantation, but getting an IUD is expensive and it is a commitment that I would want to think about a bit more first and not get on a whim. Is there anything I can do NOW that’s likely to prevent pregnancy?
