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.

What are the chances of a 14 year old boy impregnating a 14 year old girl?

The chances of a 14-year-old boy impregnating a 14-year-old girl depend on several factors, including the timing of the girl's menstrual cycle, the boy's sperm count and motility, and the presence of any contraceptive methods being used. In general, the likelihood of pregnancy from a single act of unprotected intercourse is relatively low, but not impossible. It is important for teenagers to understand the risks of unprotected sex and to use appropriate contraception to prevent unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections.

Can you still get pregnant after taking a plan b on the third day?

Yes, it is still possible to get pregnant after taking Plan B on the third day following unprotected intercourse. Plan B is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex, ideally within 72 hours. However, its efficacy decreases with time, and it is not 100% effective. If you have concerns about pregnancy, consider consulting a healthcare professional.


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.

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.
