Am I Safe If I Take Plan-B One Day Before Intercourse?
Question: If I took plan b on Saturday, had unprotected sex on Sunday - pull out method, is it possible to get pregnant in this case?? I know not the smartest decision. I am supposed to get my period next week. Should I take plan b again today?
Brief Answer:
Repeat plan b pills
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX, I have gone through your question and understand your concern.
If you had taken plan b pill on Saturday, it will have no contraceptive effect on the unprotected intercourse you had on Sunday.
Pull out method has a high failure rate as initial semen can spill around vagina while pulling out during ejaculation and there are high rate of pregnancy.
I would suggest you to take plan b emergency contraceptive pills within 72 hours of the unprotected intercourse.
