You only have a few days to prevent a pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure (the condom slipped, or you missed your pill). Every hour counts. If taken as directed within 72 hours (3 days) of unprotected sex, Plan B® reduces the chance of pregnancy by up to 89%. About 7 out of every 8 women who would have gotten pregnant will not get pregnant. And it works even better if you take it within the first 24 hours after unprotected sex. The first pill should be taken as soon as possible, and the second pill 12 hours later.

If you missed 5 birth control pills and took the morning after pill and missed your period could you still get pregnant?

Yes. Plan B does not guarantee that you are not/will not get pregnant. First of all, Plan B only works if taken within 72 hours of the first time you had unprotected sex (and the sooner, the better). So if you took Plan B five days after you had unprotected sex, it will not work. Also, as mentioned before, Plan B does not guarantee that you will not become pregnant (even if taken correctly). Plan B works better the sooner you use it. If it is taken as directed within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sex, it can significantly decrease the chance that you will become pregnant. About 7 out of every 8 women who would have gotten pregnant will not become pregnant. Plan B works even better if taken within the first 24 hours after unprotected sex.

I started my period when I woke up on Thursday I put my NuvaRing in on Sunday I had unprotected sex today Should I take plan b?

It can never hurt to be safe. If you have access to the plan B and cannot get in touch with your doctor, then take it to be safe. Having unprotected sex is not advised, even when you are using the NuvaRing, as it does not protect against STDs.


Is there any medications that will cause a miscarriage?

Plan B DOESN'T cause a miscarriage! It prevents ovulation, thereby also preventing pregnancy. Which is why it has to be taken within 5 days of unprotected sex., though more effective within 3 days. Yes. In the U.S. one such medication is called "plan b"

If you are taking ortho-tricyclin lo and you are on the 8th pill do you need to take Plan B if you just had sex or are you protected?

You are NOT protected. You need to wait 30 days for the Pill to fully be in your system before you can have unprotected sex. Otherwise, you having unprotected sex anytime before the 30 days is like having sex without you being on the pill at all.

Does the IUD prevent pregnancy or just terminate it?

It just prevents it, an IUD is a form of birth control, not abortion. And the morning after pill or Plan-B must be taken within 72 hours of the unprotected sex or birth control failure to ensure that pregnancy can be prevented.
