Teenager. Had Unprotected Sex Followed By Intake Of Plan B. On Birth Control, Took The Pill Late. Possible Pushed Ovulation Time?

I am 18 years old. I got my period on October 15th and had unprotected sex on October 27th. On October 28th I took plan b. I am on birth control but took it at different times (within a few hours) the few days leading up to October 27th. (8 pm one day, 11:30 pm the next day, and 10 pm the next day) so I was very nervous and took the pill especially because it was around the time I'm supposed to be ovulating. Then, I had unprotected sex on November 1st really late at night and the day before that I took my birth control 3 hours later than I normally do. Does plan b push back ovulation so I would be ovulating on the weekend of Nov 1st? Do you think that I have a chance of becoming pregnant??

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.

Contraceptive pills needs to be taken regularly at fixed time. As you have taken pill daily but at irregular time, still its effective in controlling ovulation. not to worry.
If at all you miss your periods get pregnancy test done.

Try to take pill at a regular time daily, If you find it difficult to take regularly better to go for other methods of contraception.


Hope this helps you
