Can i take the plan B pill more than once in 5-10 days? will it work? ?

Question

my boyfriend and i had intercourse on the 21st, and that led to me going to buy the plan B pill on 22nd. we also had intercourse just recently on the 24th and the condom broke so im beating myself up and stressing because i dont know when my next period is supposed to come because i was stressed earlier this month and had my period the end of july and again 2 weeks later so is it possible that the pill is still im my system? if i take it again so close together will it work?

Answer 1

i would not use it more than once in the same month

its supposed to be a last resort typa thing where its rarely used

because its not really safe and can mess things up

Answer 2

No, you can't take it twice in a month, as this is quite a significant hormonal disruption.

If condom breakage is a common thing for you, it maybe that you actually need to see if you're putting them on correctly, and maybe need a little extra lubrication.

You shouldn't take the pill again, but you can get other treatments, such as getting an emergency coil fitted at your doctors surgery. It isn't a pleasant procedure but may be worth it to ease your mind. Go to your doctor/pharmacist to discuss your options as they know you better than we do!

I'm sorry I know its not the answer you wanted. I'd tell you to try not to stress but I've been in this position and know how stressful it is :(

DON'T do what I did (nothing) and good luck! x
