A member asked:

I've been taking ocella (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) oral birth control for about 2 months now. i just had sex, and the condom broke. would it be necessary to take plan b as well?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: if you have been taking your birth control pills daily as directed and not missed doses you would not be at risk for getting pregnant
