"Pull out" method: The "pull out" method is unreliable. It would be nearly impossible to clean all traces of pre-cum sperm that might be in your vagina. Plan b is most effective in the first 24 hours. 4 days later is much less effective. Please talk with your doctor about more reliable birth control methods.
