Plan B and weight matter?

Question

So friday i had sex with my bf and he ejaculated two times inside , so 15-20 min later i took plan b first time . So i was reading that if you weigh over 176 the pill will not work . So im 186 pounds so im 10 more pounds. Will it work for me ? 😭 Please Can someone help me please ?!

Answer

I've never used the Plan B pill, so I wouldn't know. I went to planned parenthood to get one for my younger brothers girlfriend, who was 16 at the time, and scared to go herself. I didn't read the box, I just gave it to her to take. 
Hopefully, your weight doesn't stop it from working right. You can always call planned parenthood, talk with someone there, tell them your concerns, and go from there. Good luck.

Answer

In general, a person's body mass and/or body surface area does influence how effective a drug is at a particular dose. Plan B only comes in the one dose, but that doesn't mean it completely ceases to work if you're above a certain size threshold. You probably only have a slightly higher chance of the drug not working for you. I agree with other commenters that talking to a doctor at PP is a good idea, if only to reassure you.

Answer

Yes I've read that as well and honestly it could go either way, my friend is well over 200lbs and she took it and wasn't pregnant so I'd just be sure to follow up w a test if your periods late but try not to stress as that alone will cause it to be late

Answer

Where did you read that?

Answer

I'm not sure. But my sister weighs about 270 and she took it 45 minutes after having sex and still got pregnant.

Answer

I have heard that too. All I can tell you is I have not gotten pregnant when I used plan B, and I weigh about the same as you.
