Get tested: Ant unprotected sexual intercourse in a young woman with a missed cycle is pregnancy until proven otherwise. You need a blood prgegnacy test ( hcg- qualitative and quantitative )-
always protect yourself with condoms, foam, gel or bc ( pills. Iud).

Test for pregnancy: Plan b works best when taken within the first 12-24 hrs after unprotected sex. Menstruation should come as scheduled. If not, it would be advisable to take a pregnancy test at this time.

No: You are at no significant risk now and Plan B needs to be taken within 72 hours, preferably earlier, in any case.
