Can you take plan b 10 days after..?

Question

i know the sooner the better but will it still be effective 10 days after?

Answer 1

Emergency contraception is a backup method for preventing pregnancy and is not for routine use. Plan B® can reduce your chance of pregnancy after unprotected sex. For example, if you were using a condom and it broke, if you forgot to take 2 or more of your birth control pills this month, or if you were sexually assaulted, Plan B® may be a good option for you. It is important to know that Plan B® is not RU-486 (the abortion pill). Because Plan B® is used to prevent pregnancy, it will not work if you are already pregnant, and it will not affect an existing pregnancy.

Plan B® is safe and effective.

Plan B® is FDA approved — it contains the hormone levonorgestrel, the same ingredient found in many birth control pills. The difference is that Plan B® contains a larger dose of levonorgestrel than the amount found in a single birth control pill. And, unlike many birth control pills, Plan B® does not contain any estrogen.

Plan B® works better the sooner you take it.

Remember that you have only a few days to prevent a pregnancy after unprotected sex. If it is taken within 3 days (72 hours) after unprotected sex, it will decrease the chance that you will get pregnant by up to 89%. That means 7 out of every 8 women who would have gotten pregnant will not get pregnant. And Plan B® works even better if you take it within the first 24 hours after unprotected sex.1 Unprotected sex might happen when your healthcare professional’s office may be closed, such as over a weekend. Getting a prescription for Plan B® in advance means that it will be there for you — in time — if you ever need it.

Answer 2

Plan B has to be taken within 72 hours to work. It won't work if you take it after that, and if you are already pregnant, then it will NOT abort the baby.



So if you took a pregnancy test and found out you're pregnant, then congratulations, mom!



Take a look at the Adoption category and see all the women who wish they could be you - or who would love to give your baby a loving home if you don't feel you can.



Good luck!

Answer 3

The box tells you everything you need to know and 10 days is way over the limit. (The first dose of levonorgestrel (EC) must be taken as soon as possible and within 72 hours of having unprotected sex, and the second dose 12 hours following the first, to be effective.) I would think about going to the doctor and letting them know what happened and see if they can take a blood test to see if you are pregnant. You should think about all your options and remember this time in your life for future events. Next time use proper birth control and do not rely on plan B. You could possibly be facing the hardest decision in your life and usually if you are not married it all depends on you. Good luck!

Nope Plan B is only effective up to three days after sex. You will have to take a test to see if you are pregnant as the Plan B will not terminate an existing pregnancy. Good Luck

RE:

i know the sooner the better but will it still be effective 10 days after?

Answer 6

No it loses effectiveness each day that passes I believe it starts around 95%, by 48 hours it drops to only 85% by 72 hours 75% (somethign along these lines) after 72 hours it is about a 50 50 chance.....

Answer 7

Honey, it is okay that you are pregnant. You are probably scared and angry. That is normal. But babies are never mistakes. I became pregnant with my daughter when I was 17, still in high school. She is 2 years old and I wouldn't trade her for anything in the world. Hang in there. If you cannot provide for this baby like you wish you could, adoption is always an option. Stay strong and if you ever need anyone to talk to, there are plenty here that I am sure are more than willing to help you in your time of need.

Answer 8

I looked this up for you on the plan B Site.



Take the first tablet as soon as possible within 3 days (72 hours) after unprotected sex.





Take the second tablet 12 hours after you take the first tablet.



That’s it. When you take Plan B® as directed, you reduce your risk for pregnancy by up to 89%. And the sooner you take it, the more effective it is.



Some women may have their period earlier or later than their normal cycle. If your menstrual cycle is delayed more than one week, you may be pregnant.

Answer 9

no only 72 hours after and no not effective 10 days later and if you already pregnant it does not make you abort go to planned perenthood

Answer 10

Now everyone can cure infertility using this natural remedy http://pregnancyhelps.info

infertility can run in the family and one of the first things the doctor asks you when you go to a fertility clinic is your family history regarding cases of infertility or other reproductive issues.

If infertility is caused by genetic disorder then it's not unusual that one of the kids (your mom) doesn't have it and another does (your aunt).

two months of trying is still to early to be concerned about the fact that you might be infertile and it's also quite early to go to a fertility specialist. Go to a regular Obgyb to get a closer insight and see what ways there are are to improve your fertility rate.

Also remove alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes from your life because they might influence your chances too. Stress is also a risk factor when it comes to infertility.

Answer 11

1. It's nicknamed "The morning after pill" so I'd say no, 10 days later it will NOT work.

2. For anyone who would consider needing it, you should research it BEFORE YOU HAVE SEX... That could help, doncha think?

3. I'm really not being rude towards you, its just my opinion in general and apparently my attitude today... I've been kind of sour to everyone today.

Answer 12

No it can only be taken 72 hours after, it will do nothing now. Don't be sad that you're pregnant be happy a baby is a blessing.

Answer 13

Not to be rude or anything but if it was so important that you DIDN'T get pregnant you probably should have taken the morning after pill...... the morning after having sex. Why would you wait 10 days to worry about that?

Answer 14

Plan B is only effective withing the first 72 hours. After that, it will do nothing to stop implantation. You need to be more responsible with your body.

Answer 15

Plan B is for within 72 hours.

Answer 16

I don't think so... I think you only have 72 hours to take it or it won't be effective. By then, the egg has probably implanted in the uterus (if pregnant).

Answer 17

NOPE plan B keeps the egg from implanting in the wall its already happened by now if its happened and could just hurt the baby if there is one

Answer 18

yea....but its pointless. It says withing 72 hours to be effective! So you'd be wasting your time.

Condoms are always good! Think of it next time.

Answer 19

Wow, I wouldnt even bother, its called the Morning After Pill for a reason not the Two Week After pill. LMAO

Answer 20

Nope! It has to be taken within 72 hours!

Answer 21

NO! unless u want a baby with birth defects. if ur pregnant already why would u wanna take plan b????

Answer 22

I don't think so, if you were pregnant, the embryo would have already implanted in the uterus. Better to wait and see, and investigate your birth control options in the meantime.

Answer 23

After what? hahaha isn't that the "morning after" pill. And if so wouldn't that answer the question.

Answer 24

No, you're definitely pregnant by then (if YOU actually are). You'd be killing the baby.

Answer 25

no. at the most it would be 72 hours

Answer 26

no, it only is effective if taken within 72 hours of intercourse.

Answer 27

my doctor said it works up to the 5th day i toke it on the 4th day...tell me why i am sitting here 31 weeks preg.....congrats you seem happy....GOOD LUCK

Answer 28

48 TO 72 HOURS AFTER INTERCOURSE, NOW WHAT TO DO

Answer 29
