Should I buy Plan B?

LukeAndAmanda

I wasn't paying attention last night. I didn't take my BC this month because I didn't have the money at the time, but we used other means of protection, but not last night. Stupid mistake. I'm supposed to start my BC today (first Sunday after AF). Do you think I need to buy Plan B, or do you think I'll be okay?

Did you use a condom or pull n' pray? If you used a condom, I think you're okay. If you pnp'd you might want to pick something up.

also remember that you need to be on the BC for one full cycle before its completely effective

If it were me, I probably would just to be safe.

We absolutely are not ready for another child right now and we aren't even sure if we ever want another. So, yeah I would get the plan b.

Well how many days ago did your period start? Do you know when you ovulate?

If you used another method correctly, you are probably fine.  If you are supposed to start today, and you just had AF yesterday...you can't have O'd yet so you should be ok even if there were an oops.

Your question doesn't make sense.

Do you have AF now (I'm assuming so since you said you're suppose to start BC today).

And I'm assuming you have a whole pack of BC, right? And if you take the BC everyday then you shouldn't need Plan B, right?

Oh just pick up the damn pack. It doesn't hurt to have it around just it case you have a huge brain fart and forget to take the BC for 3 days in a row.

And yes, use condoms as well for the first month back on BC.?

I didn't take my BC this past month. I started AF this week, and it ended like...48 hours ago. I was just curious...since then I went to Walgreens, who informed me it is $49.99. Much different than what I thought it was going to be, so I don't have $50.

I'd say you are fine if you just finished AF 48hrs ago.  GL!

Trust me, I know. Normally, I'm all smart about this stuff. But for some reason, the fact that I bypassed my BC last month threw me all out of whack, and I lost all my brains

uhhh not the greatest advice there.... I've ovulated 2 days after AF stopped before. In fact I did on the last cycle I had in which we became pregnant.
