A member asked:

If i had unprotected sex while im ovulating and i take the plan b am i safe?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Safe from ?: Unprotected sex leaves you at risk for sexually transmitted infections. It is difficult to truly know your partner - especially in dating scenarios. Plus there are psychological ramifications. These are all "safety" issues. Plan b is good at preventing pregancy, but not perfect.
