Can Plan B Be Taken Twice In A Week?

Hi there. I am very concerned. This week is high fertility for me during my cycle. My ovulation date is on Monday. I had unprotected sex Monday and took a plan b pill Tuesday. The condom broke again last night. Is it safe to take another plan b pill? I am supposed to get an IUD tuesday

Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

If condom has broken and there is NO alternative choice, you should take Plan-B within 72 hrs or as early as possible to avoid unwanated pregnancy.

However, Plan-B is an emergency pill and it is NOT advised to take regularly or frequently as it causes hormonal imbalance and irregular period, leads to problem in future conception (on repeated intake). Instead you can chose combined pill or IUD as permanent solution.

Practice safe sex in future. Good luck.
