Plan B pill?

Question

I am planning to have unprotected sex this weekend. It's our anniversary and normally we use condoms, but this weekend we decided to really make love in every sense of the word. (I'm not
looking for judgments, so please just answer my question or stop reading.)
Anyway, I went to my local clinic and got the Plan B pills and put them in my purse. But they are tiny, and there was a hole in my purse, so now I've lost one. I would like to know how effective taking only the one would be, or if you have any suggestions. Please, help!

Answer 1

Yes you need both pills there are two for a reason!

I totally understand the need to make love without the condoms. Why not get the Nuvaring or something like that. My husband and I used condoms for years and now I have an IUD.........LOVE IT..........no more worries or having to stop to put the condom on!

Answer 2

You NEED both pills! Also, please make sure to consider where you are in your cycle and talk about what you would do if you do get pregnant. Plan B is not nearly as effective as any other type of birth control. NuvaRing or a diaphragm are other non-condom options, along with spermicidal foam and dissolvable clear sheets (those aren't as effective without condoms but definitely better than none). If it's before ovulation you should be fine using Plan B, but many recent studies show that during or after ovulation and you're taking your chances.

I totally understand wanting to be close. Happy Anniversary!

Answer 3

Okay, when me and my husband have unproteced sex, I will use Plan B. you NEED the second pill. no doubt about it. the first one is more important than the 2nd, but its still nessasary. if you have any regular bc pills, taking 4 of them equals 1 e.c.p. (plan B) pill. I know you are not looking for any judgements, but you need someone to tell you how it is. And its not worth it. One moment of pleasure is not worth unwanted pregnancy, std's or your self respect. I am 24 and have been with the same man for 10 years. We are saved now, but back in the day, before we found Jesus, girl trust me when I tell you. You are not with him 24/7, and he could be double-dipping (get my point?). I know you love him, but a man is gonna act like a man, so keep that in mind. Just a thought.
