The risk of pregnancy from unprotected intercourse depends a lot on where you are at within your menstrual cycle. The first day of your period is considered day 1 of the cycle. Having a 28 day cycle means that there are around 28 days from the beginning of one period to the beginning of the next period. If you have regular 28 day cycles, you will generally ovulate around day 14. This will vary. If you have short cycles (24 days or less between cycles), you will ovulate earlier. Women with longer cycles (over 28 days) will ovulate later.
Assuming that you have a normal cycle, January 27th should be a less fertile time. However, Plan B is generally safe for everyone, and could be beneficial. (Plan B helps prevent pregnancy by delaying ovulation.) Plan B is available over the counter at most pharmacies for women 17 and older. Teens under 17 require a prescription. It costs around $45 at most stores.
If you need Plan B and can’t afford it, Family Planning clinics offer Plan B at little to no cost, based on household size & income.
