"i recently had a therapeutic abortion (not my choice) and its affected me greatly. i started on birth control right away and made sure to use condoms from then on, but the condom broke and i&#039;ve only been on the pill for about a week and a half. i hear that the pill only starts to really become effective after a month of taking it so i ran to pharmacy early this morning and bought 2 pregnancy tests and some plan b (12hr. after) which was pretty pricey, but worth it. it put my mind at ease that the pharmacist told me that if i&#039;d been taking the pill for at least a week every day at the same time, that i should be fine even without plan b but, better to be safe then sorry.. for now it&#039;s just a waiting game, i really hope it works"
