Can I Get Pregnant After Taking Plan B Tablets?
I had unprotected sex 12 days ago, I think I was supposed to get my period this morning and did not. I am usually 28 days on the dot. I also took Plan B within 72 hours of unprotected sex. I took a pregnancy test this morning and it was negative. Can I be pregnant and if so how likely is it?

Hi,
Thanks for asking. I understand your concern.
Plan b contraceptive prevents pregnancy when taken within 74 hours of sex... earlier the consumption better are the results
As you had taken the pills in 74 hours .. you have least chances of conception.
Pregnancy test of urine is reliable when done after 8 days delay in periods.. if you want early reports you should go for blood pregnancy test (hcg test )..or go for repeate urine test after 8 days delay in menstrual date.
Thanks.
