Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking Plan-B?

Could this be a fake ultrasound/sonogram!?!????? I recently visited family on the opposite side of the country(CA- NJ) and while I was there, I spent the night with a former co-worker. Five weeks later, this girl is telling me that she is now pregnant- she said that she had taken Plan B the morning after (which is 95% effective) but it didn t work. So, I assumed she had probably lied about taking it. She agreed to get an abortion, but then backed out last minute after she saw her own doctor first. But now I am concerned that she is lying about even being pregnant in the first place. I think she may have sent me a fake ultrasound/sonogram picture.. Through out this past week-of-stress-hell, there have been many things she s told me or said that I found to be inaccurate as far as normal pregnancy goes, i.e; she said her gyno told her the 5-week baby-to-be was about the size of an orange seed- from what I ve read, it should be a pen-dot size. She then went to an obgyn- or whichever doctor does ultrasounds/sonograms, and she said that Doctor showed her the baby s heartbeat/said it had a heartbeat- from what I ve read, it is still too soon, and is only an embryonic sack at this point.. There were a few other discrepancies - however it is this picture she sent me of the ultrasound that I feel is the proof she is lying. She has been messing with my head so bad I m on the verge of a nervous breakdown- can anyone please lend me some assistance/advice??? -FYI, the only information in this sonogram pic is her name, and then her phone number.. Which I found odd. Turns out there are 4 different apps in the AppStore for faking sonograms, as well as many websites. One of the things they have as an option to I ll out to generate these fake sonograms, is: patient name, patient number, date, gender, etc. I feel (PRAY/HOPE) the patient number - refers to a medical record number, and that she didn t realize, and put in her phone number. Please, help restore me to sanity!! And thank you all in advance, very, veryyyy much!

Hi,

Although this is not very likely, it is, however, possible that pregnancy occurs so you had one risky intercourse and if this happened during your ovulation period it is possible that pregnancy occurs, but considering your description of it, this risk is minor. To be sure you should do a pregnancy test which can be done when the period is missed or 8 days after the targeted intercourse so at this point it would be accurate enough to detect possible pregnancy. Standard urine test would be enough for it since this is almost 99% accurate.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
