Posted on Wed, 25 Feb 2015
Question: Hi I've been on birth control for 10 years. I am halfway through my last pack that expired two months ago. All pills up to this point were taken correctly and not expired. I had unprotected sex and took plan b to be safe. Is there a good chance that I am not pregnant?

The chances of pregnancy are less in your case, if you had plan b with in 72 hrs. after an unprotected sex.

So please do not take stress and wait for your menses.
