Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking Plan B After Intercourse?
Hi I have a question I just got off birth control the marina and I ve had unprotected sex Saturday and Sunday and I took a plan b on Monday but I was ovulating when I was having sex I took a ovulating test and I also was ovulating Monday is there a chance I ll still get pregnant?
Taken within 72 hrs following an unprotected sex, Plan-B is 52–94% effective in preventing pregnancy. Plan-B is more effective the sooner after intercourse it is taken.
Since you also had unprotected sex on two occasions during your most fertile period (ovulation), there is a possibility of pregnancy.
So, if your next period gets delayed get the home pregnancy test done.
Take care.
