Mini pill: "Plan B" is composed of essentially the same hormones as are in "combination" oral contraceptives. The "mini pill" is usually just a progestin pill, but may work to prevent implantation if two are used "the morning after" unprotected sexual activity. Plan B and the "mini pill" are not always effective in preventing pregnancy, however.

On mini pill and always take it correctly. Had sex a couple times but he only came once and he pulled out. I was still nervous so I took Plan B 30 hours later(I have anxiety and know this probably wasnt necessary being on the pill). Should I be ok?
