A member asked:
Can i be pregnant if i took plan b (8 days before ovulation) and two days later had unprotected sex for the next 12 days? my period is a week late.

Plan B misuse: Unfortunately, Plan B is not designed to be a primary birth control method and is only useful AFTER unprotected intercourse has occurred. A pregnancy test is your next step and if negative, a future more secure method of contraception.

Yes: plan B is not a contraceptive It is to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex, not before! Sperm can be active 5 days ejaculation into the vagina. Plan B may be effective if taken within 72 hours after sexual intercourse. Sperm enter the cervix immediately, so douching is not protective. Start your regular birth control right after taking Plan B.
