Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking Plan-B?

What happens if I drink a Plan B last night and another one the next day? Because I had unprotected sex on Friday & Before drinking the pill on Saturday night I had unprotected sex again. When we were done I drank the Pill and again after drinking it we had sex again, But this time with a condom. I need help please, I dont know what to do & I have 2 days left to drink this Pill

Hi,
I understand your query.
Plan B is effective when it is taken 72 hours after unprotected sex.
( Earlier it is taken, more sure is the action).- It is effective for any number of sexes within it's action time.because it acts by postponing ovulation/ not allowing sperm entry in female genitals to allow fertilization.
I think you should not be tense , you will be protected for all three sexes you refer to. Only thing is as you have taken 2 doses of plan B, you are likely to get hormonal disturbance & delayed period this time-
* So wait for period patiently,- If delay is more than 10 days, you should exclude pregnancy by urine pregnancy test & get your doubt cleared.
* Plan B has high hormonal content. It is not to be used as contraceptive on routine basis. When you take it once in month, it better to use barrier method contraception in remaining days rather than repeat the hormones repeatedly.
* In case you plan to have regular sex, better option is using monthly cyclical hormones ( Oral contraceptives.)
Thanks.
