What is Plan B One-Step®?
Plan B One-Step® is an emergency contraceptive pill designed to prevent pregnancy if taken within 72 hours after unprotected sex or a birth control failure (like a broken condom). The pill contains Levonorgestrel, a hormone that prevents ovulation—the release of an egg from the ovary. If there’s no egg, there’s nothing for sperm to fertilize, and pregnancy is prevented. Plan B is not an abortion pill; it works before pregnancy occurs and is most effective the sooner it is taken after unprotected intercourse.

How Does Plan B One-Step® Work?
- Prevents or delays ovulation: The primary function of Plan B is to prevent the release of an egg. Without ovulation, sperm have nothing to fertilize, and pregnancy is avoided.
- May prevent fertilization: The pill may also make it harder for sperm to reach the egg by thickening cervical mucus.
- Not an abortion pill: If you’re already pregnant, Plan B won’t affect an existing pregnancy.

Q: Can I use Plan B One-Step® as my regular birth control?

Q: Can I take Plan B more than once?
A: Yes, you can use Plan B more than once if needed. However, it is not intended as a regular contraceptive method. If you find yourself needing emergency contraception frequently, consider speaking with a healthcare provider about a more consistent birth control method.
Q: How long after taking Plan B can I expect my period?
A: Your period may come earlier or later than expected after taking Plan B, but most women will get their period within a week of the expected date. If your period is more than a week late, consider taking a pregnancy test.
