A member asked:

Is it ok to take ella after 48hours of taking planb?had unprotected sex during 2nd day of ovulation so wanted to increase chances to not get pregnant.please advice.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

"Plan B" ?'s: Taking "Ella" after Plan B will not increase chances of preventing pregnancy for this cycle. If your period is delayed, obtain a serum HCG test to be certain about pregnancy. If negative, start oral bcp's then, and maintain punctuality (within same hour each day).
