I am taking metformin and birth control, if i have unprotected sex should i use a plan b or will it not matter?

Pregnancy ?'s: If you are on oral bcp's, and have not missed starting your last pack of pills by more than seven days after your last active pill, "plan B" will not be useful. If there is a gap in your use of oral bcp's, "plan B" will assist in preventing pregnancy, but is not "perfect".
