A member asked:

I started my new pack of birth control but had unprotected sex. the next day i took the plan b pill and continued my birth control. can i be pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: It's unlikely. Buy a home pregnancy test. They turn positive at about the time you'd start your next expected period. If it's negative, repeat in 1 wek.
