Birth Control/Chances of Getting Pregnant

Question
Hello. I just started taking Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo after a few months of being off of
it. At the end of the first month, the day my period ended, I had unprotected sex
and he withdrew before he came. I was nervous about it, so I did Plan B. I began
taking my birth control the day after the incident and then took plan B the day
after that. Do you think that there is any chance I got pregnant?

Answer
There is probably not much chance that you could be pregnant. If you are, it would be rare. However, I would advise you not to take the Plan B, especially 2 times. There is an article on http://www.optionline.org
Plan B or morning after pill. I hope you don't have any side effects from it. If you get any pregnancy symptoms, then consider getting a free pregnancy test at the local resource center. You can find one at http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP If you are not in the U.S. then go to this website http://www.hearbeatinternational.org/worldwide_directory asp
