PLAN B ONE STEP???

HELP!! According to an ovulation calendar, I ovulated on a Wednesday or Thursday (depending on which calendar you look at) and had unprotected sex on Friday around 4 pm. I wasn't able to take the Plan B One Step pill until Monday at 9:30ish in the morning. What if the egg was already fertilized? IF it takes 7 to 10 days before implantation, I should be ok right? The pill prevents implantation?? SOO SCARED!

Plan b is only 80% effective so its possible.  Good luck.

Ok so not to scare you but I am currently 25 weeks pregnant after taking plan B so it always 100% effective. I took it the day after our slip up. My understanding is the sooner you take it afterwards the more likely it is to work but you need to take it within 3 days of having unprotected sex. Also, it does really mess up your cycle and forces your period to be late. My pharmacist had told me to expect to be 7-10 days late and take a pregnancy test if I were more than 3 weeks late so don't be alarmed if you don't start when you're expecting to. Hope it all works out for you.
