What to do

Question

My boyfriend and I always use a condom when we have sex, but last night we didn't because he forgot to bring one. I've been on the birth control pill consistently since May and I know it says to not take it if you could be pregnant. I won't know if I'm pregnant or not for another three weeks because that's when I'm supposed to get my period. My question is: should I continue taking the birth control or should I stop until I know I'm not pregnant?

Answer

If you consistently take your regular birth control, you should be fine. I wouldn't not take the plan b, but continue taking your birth control pills.

Taking plan is a huge dose of hormones and I don't think it is recommended while in the pill. You can double check with the pharmacy, but I think you are fine.

Answer

Take the the plan b pill also known as Morning After Pill. You can get it at Walgreens, Walmart, CVS at the Pharmacy desk. You can get a generic brand or the actual brand- either way, just be sure you take it within the 3 days (72 hours) of unprotected sex.
