Probably.: You took it in the window where it is effective. However, it is not 100% sure. So check a pregnancy test if you miss a period. Get checked for sexually transmitted diseases, too, since Plan B does not prevent those. Of course, practice safe sex from now on!

Plan B: Anyone having intercourse without birth control or condoms may get pregnant. If intercourse was within 72 hours you consider taking plan b. Ella (ulipristal acetate) is another brand that can be used up to 5 days after unprotected intercourse. Plan b is a high dose of birth control to disrupt the hormonal patterns to delay or prevent ovulation. Abnormal bleeding after is common. Check preg test in 10 days.
