This : This question was submitted 5 days ago, beyond the useful limit of effectiveness for plan b. However, if you were having regular cycles and had intercourse on day 27 or 28 of your cycle with onset of your period the next day then it is highly unlikely that you are pregnant. It is safe to take Plan B while on your period.

Plan b: If this was your actual period that means you are not pregnant. The plan B becomes less effective over time. Plan B One-Step can reduce your risk of pregnancy by up to 95% if used within 24 hours of sex. If taken within 72 hours it can reduce risk of pregnancy by up to 89%. If there is uncertainty whether the bleeding was your period then you can take a home pregnancy test if overdue.
