Question 1

can you take plan b twice in one week? i took it 5 days ago. can i take it again?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, you can take it again.  Please try to find alternative forms of birth control than repetitively taking plan b.  Think again - use condoms or ask you doctor about birth control pills or alternatives.  However, condoms are the only method to prevent sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV, Hep B, Chlamydia or Gonnorrhea.or HPV

Question 2

can you take plan b twice in one week if you are on anti depressants ?

Question 3

can you take plan b twice in one week?
had unprotected sex with no ejaculation last day of period thursday & took plan b within 72 hours & started birth control on sunday. on sunday we had unprotected sex again & no ejaculation. should i take plan b?

Accepted Answer

Plan B ?'s: "unprotected sex w/o ejaculation" may be a false assumption, as semen can be released without full ejaculation. If you "started birth control" (assuming oral bcp's ?) remember that bleeding is common after Plan B wears off, and is not a "period", so starting bcp's may not prevent ovulation. Best is to stop having unprotected sex, wait until a real period occurs, and start bcp's on day 3 of period.

Question 4

is it safe to take plan b twice in one week after 72 hours? i missed my pills last friday and start again to catch up by taking 2 pills a day on weds

Accepted Answer

Yes, but...: It is safe, but not ideal. And you will need to use backup protection until you get a period and are totally back on track on your pills. I would recommend pregnancy before starting next pack. And it sounds like maybe pills aren't the best option for you - talk to,your doctor about different birth control options that you won't forget to take!

Question 5

can you get your period one week after it has ended if you take plan b?

Accepted Answer

: That is possible.

Question 6

my gf just had her perio d a week ago. can she take plan b pill? shes twenty one

Accepted Answer

Yes: Plan b works best if taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse, so the sooner the better.

Question 7

is it safe to take plan b one step pills twice a week? is it safe for my body and any effect?

Accepted Answer

It is safe: However, best to use contraception consistently if this is what you need. As far as side effects, you may notice irregularly irregular bleeding for sometime.

Question 8

took take action(generic version of plan b) 2-3days before estimated ovulation.one week later i was bleeding for about 4days.does this mean it worked?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Bleeding that occurs about a week after taking plan b is a sign that it worked and that You did not get pregnant, because if you got pregnant, your pregnancy would maintain the lining of the uterus and you would not bleed.

Question 9

can my wife get pregnant if she takes plan b after her one week of ovulation?

Accepted Answer

Use Plan B: Anyone having intercourse without birth control or condoms may get pregnant. If intercourse was within 72 hours you consider taking plan b. Ella (ulipristal acetate) is another brand that can be used up to 5 days after unprotected intercourse. Plan b is a high dose of birth control to disrupt the hormonal patterns to delay or prevent ovulation. Abnormal bleeding after is common. Check  preg test in 10 days.

Question 10

am i able to take one time the plan b, and be able to feed my 2 week old baby?

Accepted Answer

Safe: Plan b is safe to take with breastfeeding. Even though some hormone might pass through breast milk, no adverse affects are expected. Taking it one time should also not decrease or affect milk production
