A member asked:

Unprotected sex with no withdrawal method april 13th - april 16th! my ovulation date is scheduled for april 17th, took plan b april 17th will it work ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Plan b: If you take plan b within 72 hours of unprotected sex it will reduce the risk of pregnancy by 89 %, if you take it within 24 hours it is 95% effective. So maybe. I suggest if you get your period you need a better method of birth control. Good luck.
