Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking Plan-B?

default
Posted on Mon, 18 Sep 2017
Question: I had unprotected sex Wednesday night- Day 13 of my cycle. I took Plan B the next morning. Then, Sunday (day 17) our condomm tore. I should note he never ejaculatd inside me either time, but I want to be safe since it's my ovulation time. So I need to take another Plan B? Was my ovulation delayed by the pill so that I'm ovulating now? Is it safe to take again so soon? What do you make of all this?

Brief Answer:
Required to repeat the pill

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Since you had intercourse 24 hours after taking the pill, therefore you need to take another plan B tablet.
The effect of the pill protects only for another 24 hours after taking the pill.
It is safe to repeat the pill in short interval.
The ovulation might be delayed by the pill, but it can occur in next 3-5 days if another pill is not taken.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
