I just want to first address that Plan B is NOT murder in any way. Plan B prevents pregnancy after contraceptive failure or unprotected intercourse. Plan B prevents ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary), disrupts fertilization (joining of the egg and sperm), and inhibits implantation (attachment of a fertilized egg to the uterus). It's basically just a higher dose or regular birth control pills. It will NOT work if a woman is already pregnant and will NOT kill the baby. It's NOT the abortion pill. A lot of people don't completely understand what Plan B is used for and think it's an abortion pill.
If you take the second pill 17 hours after the first one, instead if 12 hours after it can still be effective, but not as effective as if you would have taken it 12 hours after. Plan B is only about 89% effective any way if it is taken within 72 hours after sex. You could always call your doctor and discuss it with them.
Good luck!

Um, you know that Plan B is not 100% effective to begin with, right? I suspect that your delay in taking the second pill might have increased those odds. Call your doctor immediately.

You might possibly be at risk. I suggest you speak to your doctor.
