Took PlanB and hours later had unprotected sex again, will the pill still work?

Hi Eloci

Plan B is not for use as birth control. It is EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION. The hormone doses are higher and can lead to complication, so you really need to figure out a form of birth control to use on a regular basis. https://www.empowher.com/media/reference/emergency-contraception.

I suggest you contact your pharmacist for particulars on your situation, or read the package insert that came with the meds. Plan B also has an FAQ on their website: http://www.planbonestep.com/. My gut says that if it was the same day, you are likely still protected. But this is dangerous behavior on your part.

Good luck and thanks for writing.

I wouldn't count on it. You need to get some more. If you don't use condoms every time or cannot take a birth control pill at the same time every day, then at least get the depo provera shot every 3 months.
