Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking A Contraceptive Pill?
Hi, I had unprotected sex July 20th, he thought he pulled out in time, but I took the Plan B pill a little over 24 hours after. A few days later I started bleeding and I found out that was normal. Today, August 19th, my period is late and my breast are tender. Is it normal to have side effects this late and for my period to be late?

Hello,
From your description, I am of the opinion that yes, pregnancy is quite possible even after contraceptive pills. Although the efficacy of contraceptive pills as contraceptive measures varies around 97%. I suggest you have a UPT and a TVS ultrasound.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
