A member asked:

I got my nexplanon birth control out last week and started taking the pill that day. i already had unprotected sex .. should i get a plan b ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Your choice: The pill makes often say you have protection after a week yet it is common practice for OBGYN's to advise you use backup BC for the 1st month. If it matters it may be a good idea & best done soon, within 48-72 hrs.
