3 days after starting birth control, My partner and I made the mistake of having unprotected sex. The following morning (about 11 hours later) I took plan b and I have continued to use my original birth control as well. What are my chances of being pregnant after my short birth control use and the use of plan b? I am very nervous and I have had side affects of nausea and mild stomach pains. I have been extremely responsible all my life and I am worried about what might happen with this mistake. Please send support!;(
Hi Brooks,
The Plan B should provide full protection - regardless of if you took your oral birth control or not.
You MAY experience more severe side effects than if you weren't on the birth control. You can expect tender breasts, your next period to be early or late AND heavier or lighter than normal. You may also have some spotting.
Plan B, by itself, is very effective within 72 hours. It is UNLIKELY you are pregnant.
Hope it helps.
Thank you for the response, Medic-Dan!
