Posted on Tue, 13 Dec 2016
Question: I missed taking my birth control for one day after my period and had unprotected sex the day after my period ended. I took the sugar pills during my period. I took birth control the next day and plan B about 30 hours after unprotected sex. Am I at a big risk for pregnancy?
