How much semen does Plan B (the morning after pill) protect against?
This may be a dumb question, but I'm going to ask anyway. My husband and I are newlyweds (married for 1 month). Like most newlyweds we have sex a lot like 5 times a day. We were sexually active before marriage and used condoms. Since we've been married we've been having a lot of unprotected sex and the pull method primarily along with condoms. Recently things have been extremely intense and I burst out a request for him to just stay inside. After days of blurting the same thing out he decided to take me up on my offer and came while he was still inside. We purchased a Plan B, but here's the thing. We continued having sex and got carried away he came in me a total of 5 times, with quit a bit of semen so much so that it was gushing out of my vagina. After a morning round I took the pill, but because there was so much semen do you think the Plan B will still work? He also asked me if it would still be effective tonight (I took the pill this morning) if he did it again?
Plan B will be equally effective if there is only some semen or if there is a lot, it does not get "washed out" or "overwhelmed." And it will work if the sex is within 72 hours, as well as it can work. But it does have a one in eight chance of failure, so really it is supposed to be used as emergency contraception, not contraception because you haven't gotten onto anything else. If you're having sex five times a day and don't want to get pregnant, it would be like the textbook example of when someone should go on the Pill or get the implant or get an IUD.
Plan B only has an impact on an embryo, not on sperm. It's not a spermicide. You are the one who produces the egg that becomes an embryo, and you will only have one or maybe two eggs in a given month. They can only get fertilized by one sperm, no matter how many oceans of semen they are subjected to. (Besides, by the fifth time your husband had an orgasm, his sperm count in the semen would probably have been zero.) A woman only ovulates one egg at a time (unless her mom's family has fraternal twins, in which case she might have inherited the tendency to ovulate two eggs in a cycle). Where are you in your cycle, are you towards the middle of the month?

Its about 11 days away. I completely agree about the birth control. I've already scheduled an appointment to handle that.
We are usually more careful I've just been getting swept up in the moment as of late and I guess he finally did to.
I'm really freaking out right now.
