Question 1

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 2

i had unprotected sex the day i got my birth control shot i took a plan b the next day , how effective is the plan b in this case ? my last period was on 1/15/2021?

Accepted Answer

Plan B: Plan B is a form of emergency contraception. It prevents pregnancy from occuring when there is no established pregnancy. Plan B is not 100% effective. No medication is 100% effective. According to plan B, efficacy ranges between 75-89%, more effective if taken sooner than later. I would follow your doctor's and/or Plan B pamphlet instructions. If there is no period in 3 wks, get pregnancy test.

Question 3

had abortion january 18, two weeks later had sex, two days after took plan b and shot as birth control. unprotected sex a week ago. still no period. ?

Accepted Answer

Take a test: If you think you might be pregnant check then check a home pregnancy test. They are cheap, reliable and available  at any pharmacy. You started the shot so one would not expect regular periods.

Question 4

i had unprotected sex on my period i am on birth control should i take a plan b?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If you take the pills regularly, you should not need to take plan B. Taking plan B will not do harm. Do as it makes you feel more comfortable.

Question 5

hi, i usually don't get my period on my birth control and i had unprotected sex yesterday but woke up with my period. do i need to get plan b?

Accepted Answer

Taking correctly?: If you are on birth-control pills and are taking them correctly (haven't missed any days)  you should still be protected in spite of having a period.  The period doesn't mean something is wrong with the birth control pills.  If you have missed days, taking plan b would be a good idea.

Question 6

if i took plan b within 12 hours of unprotected sex and i do not use birth control and i was on day 5 of 7 day period, will my menstral cycle be irreg?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: It might be delayed by a few days/weeks. If your next period is late get a pregnancy test - it will most likely be negative and put your mind at ease. And PLEASE, get on some birth control!

Question 7

i had unprotected sex then took a plan b . my period was late so i took a birth control pill after i noticed my period was late . what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Check pregnancy test: Even if you take plan b, it is still possible that it does not work and you get pregnant. If your period does not come next week, get a pregnancy test to see if you are pregnant. there is no harm in starting and continuing to take your birth control pills in the meantime

Question 8

can i start taking my birth control pills the same day i take plan b? i'm on my period right now and had unprotected sex last night. do i need plan b?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Please take the Plan B and the birth control pills. The birth control pills at this point won't prevent this current pregnancy. Also, please don't have unprotected sex even while on the pill. Sexually transmitted infections are rampant in teens, and could cause great harm. Good luck.

Question 9

had unprotected sex while on birth control(pills), during off week, just started period, he ejaculated inside me, should i take plan b?  been on bc 1yr

Accepted Answer

Not yet: Though it' s unlikely that you are pregnant based on the scenario you describe, no form of birth control can guarantee 100% prevention of pregnancy. I recommend a home pregnancy test first. If negative, no worries. If positive, consult with your gynecologist before taking any medication.

Question 10

how do i know i need plan b? i have been taking ocella birth control everyday but not at the same time every day. last night i had unprotected sex and he ejaculated in me. do i need to take plan b? i had my last period that started march 3rd and my next o

Accepted Answer

For : For the future, Plan B needs to be taken within 72 hours of having unprotected sex. The earlier it is taken the more effective it will be. In your case i don't think it would have been necessary to take unless you missed more than 3 pills in a row, which you did not state.
Expect your period to come as usual.
Take care.
