Hi, I had sex on April 28 around 11 PM, and I think the condom broke because I heard a pop sound. I took Plan B the next day on April 29 at 10 PM. My last period ended on April 27, and my cycle tracker says Im supposed to start ovulating about 7 days after taking the emergency pill. Will Plan B still be effective if I took it this close to ovulation? Also, Ive been having mild side effects, mainly some pelvic pain on the left side. Is that normal?
Plan B is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex. It can work by preventing or delaying ovulation. Taking Plan B within 24 hours of unprotected sex is more effective than taking it later. As for the pelvic pain from the left side, it is not a common side effect of Plan B. However, some women may experience abdominal pain or cramping as a side effect. If the pain is severe or persistent, it is recommended to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
