Question 1

1 day after taking plan b, can i drink alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Yes, use of Plan B: Does not Prohibit alcohol use.

Question 2

how long should you wait to drink alcohol after taking plan b?

Accepted Answer

Drug Safety.:  Dr. Patterson makes a good point about if a woman becomes pregnant. However from a drug safety standpoint there are no significant drug- drug interactions reported between Plan B and alcohol

Question 3

i took a plan b 24hrs ago how long do i wait to drink alcohol?

Accepted Answer

You do not need to.: No, alcohol does not make emergency contraceptive pills (morning after pills) any less effective at preventing pregnancy after sex.

Question 4

if i took plan b about 24 hours ago, is it safe to drink alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Would not drink: alcohol with prescription medication. It could upset   your stomach.

Question 5

does alcohol lessen the effectiveness of sprintec birth control? and do i need plan b after unprotected sex and a little alcohol?

Accepted Answer

No effect.: Alcohol should not affect the efficacy of the pill. As long as you remember to take them, though!

Question 6

could a women still ovulate without having egg white discharge?  could alcohol, drugs, and over weight b the problem? plan b n bc i thnk messd me up

Accepted Answer

May happen without: Not all women will notice the "egg white" stringy discharge at the time of ovulation. Also, the timing of ovulation is not always predictable, and can be affected by hormonal contraceptives. Alcohol and drugs should, of course, be avoided when a woman is trying to get pregnant.

Question 7

usescondoms. familiar w sexual partner, was alcohol. fertile window, took plan b 7 hrs after unprotectedsex, no ejaculation should itake another pill?

Accepted Answer

Depends...: I'd finish the treatment since pregnancy is possible even without ejaculation.  If you are using the two pill version of Plan B, you should finish the treatment.  If you are using Plan B OneStep, the one-pill version, a single pill should be adequate.   Best wishes!

Question 8

does taking plan b with a little alcohol effect with effectiveness of the drug for preventing pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

No!: Plan b is a drug which will abort a beginning pregnancy. You should not be taking it at all!!  There is no recorded drug interaction between alcohol and the medications in the Plan B pill which is basically high dose birth control pills.

Question 9

if i washed my vagina with rubbing alcohol after unprotected se what can happen (i took planb after thou) havnt gotten my period since sept 1?

Accepted Answer

Pregnant?: Plan b may not have worked.  If you are late for your period to start then begin doing home pregnancy urine tests to see if you are pregnant.

Question 10

drank alcohol, took planb and a week later heavy bleeding,had sex a week ago and period is late 6 days, 2 negative tests, pregnant?

Accepted Answer

No.: Pregnancy tests are very accurate so repeating the test will not change the result.  Plan B is progesterone and caused you to menstruate thus "resetting" your cycle.  You should expect a period within 3-4 weeks from when your menstration last ended.  If you don't get a period in 5-6 weeks from last menstrual day then recheck pregnancy test.  If still negative consult with your primary doc or OBGYN
