Plan B pill
How effective do you think the plan b pill is? Do you think that taking 1 within the 72 hours after sex and another one 48 hours after the first pill- would ensure they work???
^^ashdub07 is right if its been longer than 3 days the pill wont work it doesnt matter how many you take,
Right but conception can happen as early as 72 hours . So of the egg is fertilized it will survive even if it's not implanted
I'm trying to figure out when exactly I got pregnant. I know it's not a birth control and whatever.. But it also takes 7-12 days for the egg to implant.
take plan B as soon as you can. it does not have to be the morning after. If you can get it right away take it. That way it begins to do it work.
technically after the baby as bedded down which happens between 72-96 hours, so if the first doesnt work the second one wouldnt either..but this is off there website ::
PLAN B PILL IS : •
A backup plan that helps prevent pregnancy from happening after unprotected sex or birth control failure and is not for routine use
•
For use within 72 hours (3 days) after sex, but the sooner you take it, the better it works
•
Contains levonorgestrel, the same ingredient used in many birth control pills—and it works in a similar way
•
Just one pill, so you get what you need right away
PLAN B PILL IS NOT :
•
It's not RU-486 (the abortion pill)
•
It won't work if you're already pregnant
•
It shouldn't affect or terminate an existing pregnancy
•
It isn't intended to be regular birth control and should not be used that way
•
It's not as effective as other methods of birth control used consistently and correctly—so it's important to have another reliable source of birth control that's right for you
•
It won't protect you from HIV infection (the virus that causes AIDS) or any other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)

Right but if the one taken at 72 hours doesn't work wouldn't the second pill be a 'backup' of that one??
It's most effective within 72 hours of unprotected sex. I had a friend wait 5 days to take it and as a result has a beautiful baby girl
