very likely take the plan b pill -- xmoe14x - Also, what if it's too late to take the plan B pill, and you aren't showing any signs of pregnancy. I just want to have more peace of mind. I'm about two weeks away from when my period should be, but I also just started new Birth Control pills, a week after this happened, which could mess with the cycle. So...... any more answers?
Wait two weeks after unprotected sex before taking a pregnancy test.
If you've been on birth control for over 4 weeks then you're protected against pregnancy.
No not in any way. If you already had unprotected sex you can take the morning after pill up to 3-5 days after. Take a pregnancy test 2 weeks after to see if it worked. After sex there is nothing else to do to prevent a pregnancy. Before you have sex you can use birth control.
No. It does not act as the "Morning-After pill" When starting birth control you should wait at least a month before having unprotected intercourse.
Birth control works by preventing pregnancy. If you are already pregnant, birth control is of no use.
Birth control pills have no effect on pregnancy tests.
The birth control pill reaches its full effectiveness after seven days in a row.
You need to wait longer than one week before having unprotected sex. You cannot have unprotected sex until you have been on BCP for one complete cycle - once you receive your period after starting BCP, then you can have unprotected sex.
When did you start taking birth control and when was your period supposed to come? I know that many doctors recommend that you take birth control pills for about a month before you have unprotected sex. If you're still unsure, I would recommend taking an at-home pregnancy test - some of them can detect pregnancy very early (like as soon as you miss your period, I think).
If you have missed that many pills, do not have unprotected sex. After taking your next pill wait at least 7 days before having sex unprotected.
It's not advisable no. Taking the pill for one month will not prevent pregnancy as you need to be on the pill for 4 weeks before you can have unprotected sex without the risk of pregnancy.
It may, especially if your periods were irregular before you went on the birth control pill. You can expect your period sometime between the regular time and two weeks late. After that, you should be back on track. Take a pregnancy test if you've had unprotected intercourse.
