A member asked:

I had unprotected sex thursday night. if i take plan b friday morning, will i be able to continue to have unprotected sex until saturday morning?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Emergency contraception does not work for protection if you have sex after taking it. It is only for protection after you have had an emergency such as a broken condom or assault. It sounds like you need to get in and get started on a more reliable method of contraception that is intended for preventing pregnancy before you have sex. Good luck.
