Plan B first timer....SO SCARED!!!

Hey all,
So last night me and my hubby had unprotected sex, and I was ovulating which I realized much later. So this morning I took the first tablet of Plan B but am really feeling very apprehensive. What side effects can I expect? Will the pill actually help in preventing a pregnancy? Neither of us wants kids right now. I am completely freaking out. Guess that's because we have been so careful all these years and this was the first time that we had unprotected sex at the "wrong" time. HELP!!!!!!

Hi Jill,
Thanks so much for the reassurace. Just took the second pill and am at least not as anxious anymore. Valuable lesson learnt- USE PROTECTION EACH TIME!!!!!

It's pretty effective. I wouldn't stress about it too much. I had a pretty bad reaction when I took it but I get reactions to everything. It's like taking a high dose of birth control pills. I just got really bloated and retained a lot of water. I also got cramps etc. Pretty much abad case of PMS. You might not get anything, though. Worrying won't help! I made myself sick worrying about it and it does NO good.
