I had unprotected sex 8 days ago (last Wednesday). My partner did not finish. I was supposed to get my period on Monday but didn't and had unprotected sex again this time with my partner finishing but not inside of me. I am now 3 days late which is atypical but not unheard of for me. My question is what would happen if I took a plan b contraceptive today? My only concern is if we managed to conceive last week. Not sure how the plan b pill would effect a pregnancy that early or if it would prevent it.
Hello, Delayed menses can be a sign of pregnancy. if your menses got delayed by 3 days you can go for urine pregnancy test. Plan b pills are are effective only if taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex. So I don't think they are of use to you now. If taken and pregnancy continues it is not advisable to continue the process. I hope this is helpful to you. Regards, Dr Tejashree Bhor Gynaecologist, Pune
