Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking Plan-B?
I had to stop my birth control because my new insurance wasn t effective. I had protected sex after my cycle ended and took a plan b (aftera) two days later just to be sure. Later that week, early Saturday morning, I didn t have full unprotected sex but to be safe, I took a plan b that Sunday afternoon. The guy I was talking to said that it was ok to do something since I took it and so he tried to enter me a few times but I said no. Was I still protected from the plan b that I took 1-3 hours before that day? I m really worried and never wanted to put myself in that situation. I was strict about protected sex esp until I got back on my birth control.

Hello,
Taking plan B within 72 hours is very effective. Taking more than an I pill in a month is not advisable because of the hormone imbalance that it may cause.
You should try another contraception method such condoms or everyday pill.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
