What Is The Effective Timeline For Plan B?
I forgot to take my birth control last night and had unprotected sex. It s Saturday and my clinic isn t open until Monday. Will the Plan B still be effective if I have to wait 3 days after?..Would it be a good idea to not risk it and take Plan B no matter what?

Hi,
Plan B pill should be taken with in 72 hours(3 days) of the unprotected sex. In case it exceeds 72 hours, them IUD copper is to be place with in 5days of the unprotected sex. You should not risk it and take the plan B pill (morning after pill) within 72 hours.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
