I had unprotected intercourse with my guy twice and once the next night .. then took the morning after pill approximately 72 hours after the first unprotected sex. What are my chances of being pregnant?
Should I have taken the pill right after I had sexual intercourse the first time and then take another after the next or is that unhealthy for women to take it three days in a row?

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.

It's also not dangerous to take it for a few days. It's not suppose to be used like regular birth control, but if you take it a few days in a row you should be fine.
I have taken Plan B four different times in the last six years. The most recent time was actually a few days ago. I took Plan B for two days in a row (4 tablets) and I'm perfectly fine.

First of all taking plan B three days in a row is not good for you. Plan B is not supposed to be used as a birth control method - just for emergencies.
Second - the sooner you take Plan B after unprotected sex the better - but 72 hours is still ok (anything longer than that will not work as well).
Third - you should stop having unprotected sex, and use condoms or get on birth control please. Taking plan B constantly is not good for you. Go to your local Planned Parenthood for any of your needs and questions its all confidential and you can get birth control there without your parents knowing if that is an issue.
