A member asked:
How effective is the second plan b pill in a week? first one was unprotected, 18th, second one happened to be condom broke, 23rd. her period is 8th

Still works if . . .: Plan B pills, like all emergency contraceptives, work when taken as directed within specific time period. So 2nd pill in week is just as effective as 1st. However, there are unintended consequences of over reliance on EC eg sexually transmitted diseases/infections as well as hormonal disruption/imbalance. Check out http://goo.gl/fbLvgl for more. BTW, nothing is 100% so there's still small but real
