Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am on birth control, but missed a pill in week one and another in week two. However, I made them up within the next 24 hours. My boyfriend was unprotected in me for less than 10 seconds, and pulled out. I also took plan b within 24 hours. Could I be pregnant?
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern... A plan b is an emergency pill which prevents pregnancy by inhibiting implantation of fertilized egg on the uterus. It is 95% successful if taken within 24 hours of having sex. As you have taken a plan B pill within 24 hours of having sexual intercourse. Therefore you should relax. You would not get pregnant & plan B pill should be able to prevent pregnancy in you. you should start taking your regular birth control pills from next menstrual cycle. Don't use plan B pill too frequently. Use condom or regular contraceptive pill regularly as method of contraception in future. Regular taking emergency contraceptive pills can cause problems like irregular periods, ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome & even infertility.
