Is Pregnancy Possible Through Intercourse Performed A Day After Taking Plan B?

Ok I’m so confused and scared right now . I took plan b a week ago because my partner cummed in me twice , took it like 6 hours later . The next day I had sex again. Yesterday however I noticed that when I wiped there was this very light pink discharge . It hardly got into my underwear . I was really confused because my period ended that same week I took plan B . Does this possible mean I’m pregant !? Please help

Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic!

Thanks for asking. I understand your concern. Plan B is a high dose hormonal preparation used for emergency contraception. It prevents pregnancy when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex. Earlier the better. You had taken it after 6 hours of unprotected sex. So very little chances of conception for you. Other sex incidences you describe are during the period when the drug was active. So no worry. The bleeding you noticed was due to withdrawal of hormone from your system. It has nothing to do with conception. However, your next period would be 8-10 days late. But be sure to adopt some contraceptive major suitable to you with your gynecologist's advise. In order to prevent taking emergency contraceptive again.

Hope this clarifies your concerns. Thank you for the query.

Take care

Regards,
