Plan B is an emergency contraceptive that works by delaying ovulation. It is not effective for multiple acts of intercourse on multiple days. The Plan B would have been effective for the first act of unprotected intercourse. However, it would not be effective for the subsequent ones. Because it delays ovulation-making it not happen for 3-4 days- it is possible to get pregnant several days afterwards if you continue to have unprotected intercourse.
Withdrawal method or “pulling out” is not a reliable method since some fluid comes out of the penis prior to ejaculation. This pre-ejaculatory fluid (pre-cum) may contain sperm, which could result in pregnancy.
If you do not have a period within 2-3 weeks, do a pregnancy test. Please consider using a long term reliable form of birth control. If you are interested in this, discuss it with your doctor or call one of our Family Planning clinics for an appointment.
