Plan : Plan b is a good option for emergency contraception, not birth control. Also Plan B needs to be taken with 72 hours of the act. It is most effective if taken as close to the act as possible. If you are paranoid and want to take every precaution possible (obviously if this occurs again) then Plan B is a good choice. On the other hand if you are going to have unprotected sex you should consider a birth control option(pills, nuvaring, etc., as well as condoms. Take good care.

Plan b: Pre-ejaculate may be released without you or your partner being aware. Thus, this scenario does NOT guarantee against pregnancy. 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%.

Depends on timing: It is very unlikely you would get pregnant- even if there was some pre-ejaculate the tiny amount of sperm released is unlikely to result in pregnancy. However, if you were close to ovulation (usually 14-15 days after your last period started and you want to be extra cautious you could take Plan B.
