If i took a plan b pill (the day after pill) a hour before i had sex should i take anotherone because still with in 72 hours?

Plan B is not bc: Plan b is not a birth control pill. It is "emergency contraception". It is not to be used casually. It causes a spontaneous abortion by causing the uterine lining to shed the implanted fertilized egg. Taking Plan B before sex is not appropriate. If pregnancy is not a desired outcome of sexual intercourse, please use other forms of birth control.
