Hello Anonymous,
Plan B is an emergency contraception in just one pill, which should be taken within 72 hours or 3 days after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure.
I am confused why you took another dose on June 29. Did the condom fail again?
As you may or may not know, Plan B contains levonorgestrel, which is the same FDA approved ingredient found in many birth control pills. However, the dose is higher.
I want to point out that changes in your period are a reported side effect of Plan B and Plan B is less likely to work if you have unprotected sex or contraceptive failure again in the same menstrual cycle after taking it.
You may need to wait a month or two before your menstrual cycle returns to normal. Is there a reason why you are not using some form of birth control, such as an oral contraceptive or an IUD?
If you and your husband are experiencing condom failure, you need to consider another type of birth control.
