Plan b

[action]

How many people got pregnant after taking plan b? I know what plan b is, but you can still get pregnant. If you can please answer I would appreciate it.

Thanks for the answer but I took it 3 hours after doing the deed.

@action It should work then, if taken as directed. I would encourage you though to look into other forms of birth control (if you were just using condoms). There are many hormonal and non-hormonal options now and many longer-acting forms as well (e.g. arm implant, IUD). All of these options should be at no or very low cost under the ACA.

@cg1996 Thank you for your advise

@action answer: lots of people.

Plan B is only really effective within the first 24 hours and it starts dropping efficacy up to five days after.

@action I took it within an hour of doing the deed. Turns out if you’re a woman who’s over 160 lbs you may need 2 so you don’t get pregnant. My son is turning 2 in June. Totally a surprise. Totally the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

@pdwriter Thank you for your answer and time.

@action Good luck! You should be fine since you took it so quickly after the deed.

@action Plan B is very effective as long as you take it within 24 hours (sounds like you did) and you are within the recommended weight range for it. If you're over that, it's less effective.

@mktsparks Thank you so much

@action Plan b is also very reactive to weight. I believe the maximum weight person plan b is effective on is around 160 lbs so take that into consideration and check the proper weight yourself because I could be wrong

@diegonxx Thank you so much

@action I checked and it’s 175 lbs. idk if that applies to you or not but keep it in mind. They make alternatives do people above that weight as well

@diegonxx Thank you

@action There is a lot of factors. Where you are in your cycle. Your weight. How quickly you’ve taken it after intercourse. Other medication you’re on etc.

@jvcnit20131 Before ovulation, and I took 2 or 3 hours after sex. The other drugs I'm on is tylenol and benadryl.

 

[jvcnit20131]

@action If you weren’t ovulating your percentage of being pregnant is way lower to begin with, then the plan b will have lowered that even more.

Do a test in 2 weeks if you haven’t had a period just to be sure.

@jvcnit20131 Thank you

@action Whereabouts are you? In the states it’s a hit or miss.. Took it twice once it worked the second I was pregnant. My friend from Canada has taken it multiple times never an issue
