Does Plan B Protect Against Unwanted Pregnancy If Intercourse Is Performed More Than Once?
My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex and I was gonna take the plan b pill tomorrow. But right afterwards and before I could take the pill yet, we had sec again and our condom broke. Will the pill treat only the one time or both? Is it the time frame of less than 24 hours safe enough? Thank you

Hi,
Emergency contraceptive pills are high dose hormones. They act by postponing ovulation day. Mostly the hormones are withdrawn from the body in a weeks time after consumption.
So there may not be protection for the sex a day before taking the pills but it would be there for a day after taking the pill.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
