A member asked:

I took plan b, should i continue taking my daily oral birth control?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: You should continue your bcp's after you finish the Plan B sequence. You don't need to take them the same day as plan b, although if you did, it would be unlikely to cause any harm other than nausea.

Dr Fowler and another doctor agreed
