Emergency Contraceptive Not Taken Correctly
Posted: 10-19-06 22:55pm

I had sex with my b/f. The condom broke. I went to get the plan b pills. The doctor told me to take one then the other to take in 12 hours. I only took one after 36 hours after I had sex. Will I be most likely to get pregnant since I did not take the other pill???

You needed to take both of them.

We cannot tell you what your own personal risk of pregnancy is, as we do not know when you ovulate in relation to when you had sex.

You are at risk, but we cannot tell you how much.

You should consider long term birth control use.
