Diane has been on the pill for about a month now, though we aren't entirely certain regarding its reliability as a contraceptive method.

Greetings to everyone. Yesterday, around 4:00 PM, I was intimate with my girlfriend and the condom actually broke—right at the tip. I managed to pull out just before ejaculation, so there was no internal climax, but it was only then that I noticed the breakage. Now, both she and I are spiraling into a bit of a panic regarding the possibility of pregnancy. She took a home pregnancy test this morning around 8:00 AM, and the result was negative. My question is: did she take the test far too early, and how much weight can we actually give to that result? Her cycle is quite irregular, which is why she takes hormonal birth control pills to keep things stabilized. Her last period lasted from May 27th through the 31st, so we are expecting her next one around June 27th or 28th. Tomorrow, we plan to pick up another test and also grab some emergency contraception just to be absolutely certain. In your expert opinions, what are the actual odds here? How reliable is today's negative result considering it has only been about 16 hours since the encounter?
We are desperately seeking some guidance. 👍
