A member asked:

What do you think, could my 3rd time using the pill plan b be effective?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If taken within 72: Hrs it should work, but u shouldn't have had to take it 3 times already, u need to get on a reliable birth control method that u will use so u will not have to use it a 4th time, please discuss with your gyn.
