Being On APRI 28 Birth Control Pill, Should I Take Plan B?

I had unpretected sex today at 2pm. I am currently on the APRI 28 birth control pill, but I just started my first pack exactly two weeks ago today. I am worried about becoming pregnant even though my partner pulled out before ejaculating. Do I take the plan B pill tomorrow morning? or am I pregnant-free?

Hello and welcome,

Please do not worry at all. If you have started the pill 2 weeks ago and are taking it regularly then there is no chance of pregnancy. Also if your partner pulled out before ejaculating then there is no chance. Please do not worry. There is no need to take plan B as you are already on contraception so every sex is called a protected sex as you are protected against pregnancy. There is no need to use any other contraceptive method for protection of you are already on the pill.

So do not worry the pills begin protection form the date of starting the pill if they are started on day 1 of period and a week later if started on any other day.

Hope this satisfies your query.
