Your timely use of the Plan B pill decreases your risk of pregnancy. The sooner you use it after unprotected sex, the more likely it is to prevent pregnancy. I am wondering why you waited until the next day to tak it though. According to the manufacturer, if Plan B is taken within 72 hours of the unprotected sex, it prevents seven of eight pregnancies that otherwise would have occurred. Unfortunately, it is not 100% effective, and pregnancy is still possible.
If you miss your next period by one week or more, take a pregnancy test. If it is negative, repeat the test every two weeks until you either have a normal period or a positive test result.
Plan B should not be used as a regular method of birth control as it is less effective than other methods. If you are going to continue to have sexual intercourse, you may want to think about using a regular form of birth control. If you live near our service area, please contact one of our offices for an appointment. We can talk with you about all of your birth control options and help you choose one that best fits your lifestyle. If you live further away, call the Family Planning or Planned Parenthood office closest to you.
