Hello!
Thanks for your query.
If you have used it within 72 hours after you've had unprotected sex, Plan B can reduce the risk of pregnancy by up to 89%.
If you take Plan B within 24 hours, it is about 95% effective.
it is possible that Plan B may cause your next period to be heavier or lighter than usual. It may also come earlier or later than is normal for you. If you don't get your period within three weeks, get a pregnancy test to make sure you're not pregnant.
Take care of your self
