A member asked:
I took a plan b after having an abortion 2 weeks ago. then started my birth control pills 6 hours after taking a plan b. will the plan b work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
"Plan B" will "probably" be effective, but starting your bcp's "6 hours later" may not prevent ovulation, since the "two week interval" may have already enabled normal reproductive processes to start again, following the abortion, and "Plan B" is not 100% in preventing pregnancy. If symptoms of pregnancy occur, obtain a serum HCG test halfway through the bcp pack to be certain.
