Is There Chances Of Pregnancy Even After Taking The Pill?

I had sex tonight with my boyfriend without a condom on. He didnt pull out and I was told plan B was free but when i checked i seen it wasnt. I cannot afford to pay the money right now because i just started my job yesterday. Is there anything i could do at home that would prevent a positive pregnancy test ? Preferably tonight ?

Hi, Thanks for using HCM..
You can take an emergency contraception.. You have not mentioned anything about your periods.. Are you in and around day 14? I pill is available which should be taken as early as possible preferably within 72 hrs.. Some recommend to rpt it after12 hrs.. It reduces the chances of pregnancy by 90%. Intrauterine device can be inserted 5-7 days of unprotected intercourse.. Its effectiveness is 99%. These methods are to prevent pregnancy by preventing fertilisation and not for abortion. it is better to use alternative contraceptive method instead of repeated use of emergency contraceptives repeatedly. Hope I have answered your queries.Good day.
