Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.
Yes intake of plan B pill post unprotected sex should avoid pregnancy. Emergency contraceptive pill or plan B pill work by preventing implantation of fertilized egg on uterus. It should be taken as early as possible. It is 95% successful if taken within 24 hours & 70 % successful if taken 24-72 hours.
As you have taken the pill, You should now relax as pregnancy possibility is very less.
Use condom or regular contraceptive pill as method of conception in future. Taking more emergency contraceptive pills can cause problems like irregular periods, ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome & even infertility.

For more queries consult a gynaecologist
Hope this information helps
