Is There Any Chance Of Pregnancy After Taking Plan B?

I have been on Junel for almost two years now. I am very good about taking my pills in the same time frame every day, however, this past pack of pills I did not do so well with. During my active pill week I missed the three last pills and ended up getting my period or withdrawal bleeding right away. I just didn t think much of it and planned to start a new pack on Sunday. Well, I ended up having unprotected sex Saturday night. So the last three pills I didn t take were Thurs, Fri, and Sat. My bleeding was pretty heavy and my partner pulled out (I know that s not the most effective or best way). About 12 hours later I took Plan B to be extra safe. Is this something I should worry about? Are my chances of pregnancy slim or fairly high? I have heard that even within those three days of not taking my pills I could have ovulated...is this true? I just need to get my mind at ease. I am worrying pretty badly right now. Thank you so much.

Hi,

The chances of getting pregnant is very low as you was having your period which means that you were not ovulating. Also pulling out and taking the plan B pill shall eliminate the chances of getting pregnant, so no need to worry.

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

Regards,
