So i had unprotected sex on June 8th 2007
around 12 am..
my boyfriend and i decided to try
emergency contraceptive pills since i am
not on birth control anymore.
I went to walgreens and the pharmacy gave
me Plan B (it was 42 bucks! yikes!!) You
are supposed to take the first pill asap
no longer than 72 hours (3days after
unprotected sex) and the second pill 12
hours later.
So I took the first one at 7:24 pm last
night (june 9th) But I didnt take the
second one till 10:30 am this morning
(june 10th!!) Do you think that affects
how the pill works? i know its not 100%
effective but because i didnt take it 12
hours after i took the first one like the
directions said. did i just increase my
chance of being preggo?

I don't know well how plan b works, but I
would assume that using it incorrectly
would decrease how effective it is and
increase your chances of becoming
pregnant.

Don't worry, you're fine...I'd suggest
next time taking it at the right time
tho... be responsible about it.

I wouldn't worry too much about the time
difference, however, you need to realize
that plan b is not 100% effective even if
you do take it right. Regular birth
control is more effective, and not having
sex is the most effective. (But no fun
)
So if you did get pregnant, I would guess
that it was because of just bad luck, not
the time delay.
