Hi

The chances of pregnancy is very less since you have taken adequate protection.

Plan B taken under 24 hours of unprotected sex is 95% potent. If it is taken under 25-48 hours of unprotected sex then it is said to be 85% effective.Since you have taken the drug within 72 hours,it is highly effective.

Kindly confirm with a pregnancy test if the periods is missed by 10 days.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
