Thread: How likely is it that I'm pregnant?

If you have been taking the pill at roughly the same time everyday (you have a 3 hour window to take the pill) and not missed, skipped, or purposely avoided any pills then you are under the full effectiveness of the pill. That does not mean full protection from pregnancy, it means the pill is working at the level that it should. As long as that consistency is there the chance of pregnancy is slim. Also, taking 5 minutes late or having sex multiple times a day makes no difference. That 3 hour window was made because life can get in the way (example traffic causing you to get home later than the regular time you take the pill). Again, as long as you take it around the same time everyday without missing any you are fine.


In addition, DO NOT take Plan B unless you have reason to think the pill is not at an effective state, as in missing the pill for a few days and then having unprotected sex. Plan B can and will affect your cycles, period length, and your body in general...it is not to be used unless it is an emergency situation hence it being called an emergency contraceptive.
