so today my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex and he came inside of me, I take my birth control pill everyday and usually on time and I have about 10 days before my period should start so should I take the plan b still? Usually plan B throws off my period or shortens it so I want to avoid taking it however I would like to take the proper precaution so any advice would really help, please and thank you

You are fully protected by your normal pill at this stage if you followed the instructions. There is no need to take Plan B.

Thake care!

It depends what "I had none left" means? How many have you taken so far? All as you should? If you got to the end of the 21 active pills, you are fine. If you got to the end of the inactive pills, you have to start the next pack to get protection.
