A member asked:

Can i give my wife a contraceptive pill before sex and a plan-b after sex to be sure she won't get pregnant 100%?is it safe for her to get both pills

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Redundant: If she is taking her contraceptive pills daily, her ovulation should be suppressed. There is a failure rate, but Plan B works by the same method. If you are looking for a back-up method i suggest an intra-uterine device, condoms, or spermacide.
