A member asked:

Surgical abortion monday feb. 26th.started my birth control pills feb. 27th,.unprotected sex sat march.3rd. will plan b, be effective same day?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Should be effective: Plan B can alter the menstrual bleeding for the cycle in which Plan B was taken, and sometimes the next cycle too. One should be sure to check a home pregnancy test about 3 weeks after sex, because Plan B works most of the time, but not all the time.
