Should I take Plan B?

Hey VP,
I posted a couple of days ago asking about what to do after missing three pills in a row at the start of the pack. I was advised that after taking seven pills I'd be back on track....so I took the first of that seven last night.
Well, my boyfriend came over tonight and we had sex. He always pulls out no matter what, and we used the pull out method as our only method of contraception for the first three months we were dating until I went on the pill, so I wasn't worried.
But because luck is never on my side, of course tonight he didn't get fully "out" in time....I'm not sure how much actually stayed inside of me.

What do you think I should do? Get Plan B?
And if I take Plan B, what do I do with my BC pills...just keep taking them as normal?

I've never had this much trouble with pills before ever....it's not my week. I swear I'm a consenting adult with a functional (ish) brain!

If it would make you feel at ease, take Plan B. You just take your BC pills as normal. Sometimes, as a result of the extra hormone boost, some women have a bit of spotting after taking Plan B, but that is normal.

Yeaaaa I think I will. I don't want to worry for the next three and a half weeks...haha.

Thank you.

I'd take Plan B if I were you as the pills at the start of the pack are the most important. Don't worry about having one of those weeks - I always seem to mess up everything like that at the same time!

I would get Plan B and keep taking your HBC as normal.

Luck!

An alternative is to get an IUD fitted - personally, I'd go and talk to a health provider and discuss my options.
