Question 3

will the plan b one step pill still work for me? i have this app on my computer that tells me the day i am supposed to ovulate. i had unprotected sex on that day. i took plan b within 12 hrs of it. i was just wondering if the fact i ovulated, or was suppo

Accepted Answer

Try : Try not to worry. The fact that you took Plan B so soon after intercourse, regardless of ovulation means the greater the chance that it will work in preventing pregnancy. Some people experience a period early after taking plan b, others do not. If you don't get your period on the 20th, then you can take an early prediction pregnacy test.
Good luck!

Question 4

how effective is plan b pill if you had unprotected sex during ovulation?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Plan B decreases the risk of pregnancy by about 70% when used within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse. Pregnancy is still possible. If you had unprotected sex again then you need to use Plan B again. Please consider starting a more reliable form of long term birth control. IUDs and Nexplanon are the easiest, most effective option with the least side effects.

Question 5

can the plan b pill work even if i may be ovulating the time of unprotected sex?

Accepted Answer

Plan B works anytime: Anytime during the cycle.

Question 6

had unprotected sex 4 days in a row during ovulation he did not pull and took plan b the 4th day how effective would the pill be?

Accepted Answer

Not ideal: Plan b should be used withing 3 days of the event. You can use Ella (ulipristal acetate) up to 5 days from the event. If your menses is late, do a pregnancy test. And get on some birth control.

Question 7

will plan b work me and my girlfriend had unprotected sex and i think a drop got in it happen on a friday and she took the pill sunday and was also ovulating?

Accepted Answer

Late: Plan B may work but at best it is only 95% effective and that is if it is taken within the first 24 hr. after unprotected sex. The effectiveness falls the longer after sex it is taken. After the fact, taking it as soon as possible is the only option. Now, however, is the time for her to start a more reliable method of contraception if she isn't pregnant and use condoms to decrease the risk of STDs

Question 8

i had unprotected sex a day before ovulation. took plan b 23 hours afterwards. i am overweight, could that have effected the pills ability to work ?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps: There is some evidence that emergency contraception (EC) progestin-only pills are less effective if your BMI is &gt;30. Ella/ulipristal acetate may be more effective than the Plan B/progestin only. Having a copper IUD inserted as EC is the most effective, 99%, equally so among all women regardless of weight. Reliable non-emergency contraception is your goal. Best wishes:)

Question 9

should i take the plan b pill if just worried about precum? had unprotected sex the week of ovulation but on cryselle bc

Accepted Answer

No: If you are taking your cryselle right you do not need to be worried and do not need to take Plan B. Hope this helps.

Question 10

hello, i'm really hoping that someone can ease my mind.i had unprotected sex on july 17th, which was a few days before my ovulation and although he didn't finish in me i was concerned about pre-ejaculate. i took a plan b pill 12 hours later and i was free

Accepted Answer

Relax, you're ok: Plan B is reportedly 95% effective if taken within the first 24 hours after unprotected sex.  Exceptions would be if your body weight is elevated over 165#, as it becomes slightly less effective.  If you are pregnant, a home pregnancy test is usually reliable about the time of your missed period, and definitely a week after.  Insist on condoms in the future to avoid risk of both pg and infection.
