  1. I recently had unprotected anal sex. Afterwards I went to the bathroom and noticed that the tissue felt really sticky. I looked down to realize that I had wiped sperm onto my vagina. I also either ovulated on the day before or after this incident. I took plan b 21 hours after this occurred. I am wondering how likely it is that I have conceived in this time period.
  2. I had sex for the first time 2 days ago. The condom failed. however I am on birth control (yaz). I would like to take a pregnancy test to make sure that I’m not pregnant. the instructions say you can take it the first day after your missed period but since I’m on birth control I am only having 1 every 3 months and I wouldn’t really know if I was missing a period or not. When should I take it? Can I find out early enough that I could take the morning after pill?
  3. I’m 18. I got my period at the last week of February and then had to take Plan B at the beginning-ish of March, maybe the 6th or 7th, I don’t remember the exact day. And it gave me my period again a week later. And I normally get it the last week of every month but I didn’t at the end of March. I took a preg test April 1st and it was negative. Can Plan B make you late? I’ve read that it can make you late or even miss a period. Should I be worried? Also, I’ve taken plan b twice prior to this time if that is at all useful information.
  4. I had intercourse but the condom slipped off when he pulled out. I am on birth control and I don’t think any got inside me. But I took the 1st emergency contraceptive pill no later than 5 hours after intercourse but I took the 2nd pill 17 hours later. Is it still effective? Will I become pregnant?
  5. I took Plan B after unprotected sex. My period came a few days later than normal, but started with light pinkish brown spots and then turned to red. It was much heavier and lasted 3 days longer than normal ending again with the light pinkish brown spotting. I also had much more cramping than I normally do with my period. I believe this was a chemical pregnancy. Two weeks later I began having a sharp pain in my left lower abdomen. It hurts when I sneeze, walk too quickly, and when I push on the area with my fingers, otherwise it is a dull constant pain. I took a HPT and it was negative. Is it possible that this is a tubal pregnancy or just related to something else? I’ve had the pain for a little over a day now.

I had sex this weekend and didn’t use protection. What are my options?

Plan B (levonorgestrel) is the recommended method of emergency contraception if used soon enough after unprotected sexual intercourse.   It is maximally effective 12 hrs after unprotected intercouse, but can work up to 120 hours.  Most pharmacies have them available without a prescription.  After 120 hours, a copper intrauterine device is an effective emergency contrception tool that can be placed by your gynecologist.
