Someone asked us:

I just took a plan b yesterday and a condom broke on me today is it safe to take another plan b

Yes, it’s safe. Plan B (AKA the morning-after pill, a type of emergency contraception) can help prevent pregnancy when you take it after having unprotected sex. But, it won’t prevent pregnancy for any sex you have after taking it. So if you use the morning-after pill and then have unprotected sex, you’ll need to take it again.

If you’re having vaginal sex and you don’t want to get pregnant, use an ongoing form of birth control like the pill, patch, ring, shot, implant, or IUD. Using both a condom and another method of birth control gives you extra protection from pregnancy and also protects you and your partner from STIs.
