Took Plan B - chances of being pregnant Posted: 03-06-08 14:45pm
I got my period on February 14th and it
lasted until February 19th. I had
unprotected sex on February 20th and he
pulled out. I took Plan B the next day and
took both pills at once. I definately
wasnt ovulating since it was 2 days after
my period. I started taking BC on February
22nd and on the 23rd I starting bleeding
for about 7-10 days. I am wondering what
my chances are of being pregnant... Thanks
so much!!

You had sex close to your period, so
chances are lower that you ovulated if you
have a normal 28 day cycle. However,
there is still always a chance because
ovulation can be irregular.
Since you had your period and bled for
7-10 days, chances are very very low of
you being pregnant. Most pregnant woman
do not bleed at all, or if they do it is
usually light pink spotting.
It is wonderful that you went to get plan
B after having unprotected sex, because
that greatly aids in preventing unwanted
pregnancies. However, next time, read the
box! You are supposed to take the second
pill 12 hours after you take the first
pill, NOT take both pills at once. Taking
the pills incorrectly decreases its
efficiency.

I think that the fact that you bled
indicates that you are not pregnant.
Perhaps they double-dosed you on Plan B to
give you those extra hormones to prevent
ovulation...and to sterilize this month's
process. I think it's a generally good
sign that you were bleeding, though.
