Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking A Plan B Pill?
I had unprotected sex yesterday and today and both times my boyfriend finished inside me. I took the plan b pill after the second time I had sex but a couple hours after taking the plan b pill we had unprotected sex again. Should I take another plan b pill in the morning or will the one I took today be okay?

Hi,
Plan B is an emergency contraceptive pill. It needs to be taken within 72 hours of having unprotected intercourse.
Since you have already taken it after the second time, there is no necessity to take it again if you had intercourse within 12 hours of its intake.
Do not risk again to have unprotected intercourse. Kindly wait for withdrawal bleeding to happen, which you should get just like your periods by 5 to 7 days.
However, you should understand that the failure rate of using such pills is about 10%.
In case of bleeding doesn't happen by 10 days, you need to take a urine pregnancy test and consult Obstetrician for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
