Question 1

i took plan b four days after unprotected sex will it still work?

Accepted Answer

It might: Plan B is a progesterone agent which usually works by preventing ovulation so no egg is available to be fertilized by the sperm, or by preventing implantation of a fertilized egg. It is most effective when taken within 72 hours (3 days) of unprotected intercourse, but there is evidence that it can work up to 5 days after (but less likely). Sex is always safest within a committed marriage

Question 2

i had unprotected sex fri at 2am then i took a plan b that night then had sex agin at 8am and took another plan b the same day will it still work ?

Accepted Answer

"Plan B" ?'s: Although "Plan B" can protect from pregnancy, it is not 100% certain. The Plan B you took on Friday night would "protect" against pregnancy for both "unprotected" events that close together, although not 100% of the time.

Question 3

if my bf and i have unprotected sex on purpose and i take the plan b pill after will it still work completely ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: As long as you take Plan B within 72 hrs of unprotected sex you are ok, but it would be better for you to use a more reliable form of contraception (condoms, pills, etc).

Question 4

my bf & i had unprotected sex yesterday & this morning. if i take plan b now will it still work considering we did it twice unprotected?

Accepted Answer

Take Plan B: Yes. Since you did not protect against unwanted pregnancy you should take plan b.  Now. Going forward it is very simple to avoid unwanted pregnancies.  Birth control is easy to get.  Condoms are available.  Learning when you ovulate and avoiding semen exposure during the week prior to ovulation.  It is easy to avoid unwanted pregnancies.

Question 5

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 6

after unprotected sex i took plan b, than had protected sex same day i took plan b but condom broke inside, will the pill i took still still work?

Accepted Answer

Plan B: it should still be effective but plan on taking a pregnancy test if period is late and I would recommend another form of birth control along with condom use

Question 7

had unprotected sex 3 days in a row then took plan b on that 3rd day still within the 72 hours did it still work even though i didn't take it each time only on the 3rd day?

Accepted Answer

: Any form of birth control can fail, but in the situation cited you should be protected. A non-hormonal IUD may be a good choice if you don't want to play catchup all the time. It can give you 5 years of protection with no hormonal effects.

Question 8

im ovulating. will plan b still work for me? i took it about an hour after the  unprotected sex ocurred.

Accepted Answer

Hopefully...: Ovulation time, of course, is 'prime time' for getting pregnant! Plan B will hopefully work, but get a pregnancy test if you do not get a normal period when expected. And make an appointment with your doctor or planned parenthood to find some reliable birth control so you don't have to worry. Good luck. Lgromko, md.

Question 9

me and my bf want to have unprotected sex cause it feels nice we took the plan b pills once after sex if we take it aqain wilk it still work right?

Accepted Answer

Risky: It has a high chance of success but it still has a small failure rate. I recommend using a reliable form of contraception that will cover you all the time rather than use sporadically with plan B after intercourse. 
best wishes

Question 10

does plan b still work before unprotected sex?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If you took it and shortly thereafter had unprotected sex it would likely work the same way.  However, i wouldn't suggest planning unprotected sex.  Plan b is not a perfect method of pregnancy prevention.  That's why we call it "emergency contraception" and not just in case contraception.
