Does Plan B work after 72 hours?
Plan B offers a reduction in pregnancy risk of up to 89% if it is taken within 72 hours. And the earlier you take it, the better the result is. Actually, the effectiveness is 95% if taken within the first 24 hours. However, if you take it after 72 hours of unprotected sex, it might not work.
Does Plan B always work?
The short answer is yes. How effective Plan B is depends not only on how soon after unprotected sex you take it but also where you are in your cycle. For instance, if ovulation has already occurred (within 24 hours), EC may be less effective. This is one case where you can still get pregnant after taking Plan B.
How much does Plan B cost?
Other common payment methods include the following:
- Private and federal loans

How do you know if a morning-after pill worked?
The only guaranteed sign that your morning after pill worked is when you get your next period. If it doesn't come right when you expect it to, a pregnancy test can help determine whether you're pregnant or if your period is just a little late.
Can you still get pregnant if you take the morning-after pill?
Yes, it's possible to get pregnant. The morning-after pill (AKA emergency contraception) can help prevent pregnancy when you take it after having unprotected sex. But, it won't prevent pregnancy for any sex you may have after taking it.
Will the morning-after pill work if I have already ovulated?
Morning-after pills won't work if your body has already started ovulating. This is why timing is so important, especially if you're using Plan B and other levonorgestrel morning-after pills. (ella works closer to the time of ovulation than levonorgestrel morning-after pills like Plan B.)
How many days after taking the pill am I protected?
If you start taking the combination pill on the first day of your period, you'll be protected against pregnancy right away. However, if you don't begin your pill pack until after your period has started, you'll need to wait seven days before having unprotected sex.
Does Brown discharge after Plan B mean it worked?
Some spotting after using Plan B is harmless. It shouldn't be taken as a sure sign that you're not pregnant, though. Implantation spotting can happen when a fertilized egg attaches to the lining of the uterus. This is perfectly normal in early pregnancy, usually occurring about 10 to 14 days after conception.
How can I get Plan B for free?
If you have health insurance or Medicaid, there's a good chance you can get Plan B for free — you just have to ask your nurse or doctor for a prescription so your health insurance will cover them (even though you don't need a prescription to buy these types of morning-after pills over-the-counter).
