Low risk: The pull out method is very unreliable for birth control. Plan b is very reliable when used as directed within 3-4 days.

Possible: It is still possible, your timing was not ideal, but the Plan B is very effective at delaying ovulation, and you took it very timely! so keep your fingers crossed and wait and see...*(maybe you should see about getting on a more reliable form of birth control?).

Take the test: If you want to know if you are pregnant, take a test. In today's world you do not need to wonder if you are pregnant or not based on symptoms. Pregnancy tests are available at any pharmacy and in minutes you will have your answer. They can detect a pregnancy 7-10 days after conception. The best time to take one is when you miss your period.
