Q: plan B after start minipill

Hello,

Thanks for taking time to read and help me in this.My periods ended 2days back and I have taken the first mini-pill today morning.Mini pill takes 48hrs to be active.

had an unplanned sex in evening so again took a plan B(ECP)-first tablet in it,and would take the next tablet after 12hrs.
I plan to skip the minipill-number 2 and take only plan B- tablet 2 tomorrow.
When should I start the mini pill again?Do I need to get a new pack or I can continue the existing minipill2-27 tablets for next month?

Any chances of getting pregnant or are there any wrong timing of the pills in my post?

Thanks,
TTParker.

I would just take them both-- your pill AND the Plan B tablet and continue with your pills like you normally would.

You NEED to be careful. The mini pill doesn't leave room for mistakes and this is a shaky start. Have condoms handy on days you don't take it exactly on time-- its better to plan ahead rather than take Plan B afterwards.
