Should I Take Plan-b To Avoid Pregnancy After Having Unprotected Sex?

Hi, my name is kayla. I have an important question about pregnancy. My boyfriend and I were having sex and he pulled out just to be safe because he felt himself getting closer to his climax. He backed away from me and stayed there for a minute and then he came and some landed on one of my vaginal lips. I later wiped it but my question is if there is a chance that i am pregnant. It hasnt even been 24 hours since this so should i still go ahead and get plan b just to be safe or am i fine without it?

Hi,
I have gone through your query and I can understand your anxiety.

The amount of Sperm needed to become pregnant varies with a single drop with a single Sperm cell or enough Sperm cells in precum. Although there is not 100% possibility but still chances are there.

So I advice to go ahead with emergency pills (PLAN B ). If you take it within 72hours of unprotected sex, it reduces the risk of pregnancy by up to 89% & within 24 hours, it is 95% effective.

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

Regards
