Use protection: The morning after pill only helps protects you from become pregnant from unprotected sex in the prior 5 days. Use protection for sex after taking the morning after pill.

Need extra protectio: Plan B can give you a little more than 80% of reliability to prevent pregnancy if you take the two pills within 72 hours of unprotected sex. It is supposed to protect you for one single event and doesn't protect you a week later. Common side effects are bleeding or spotting, nausea. Condoms can help you prevent STDs. It alone gives your 80-85% of protection against pregnancy. Better to use both.
