... within 24hours but since sperm can live inside me for a few days would my sugar pills protect me still or should i keep taking plan B for a few days?? I really dont want to get pregnant
I had sex without a condom while I was on my last pill before the sugar pills begin. I took plan B?

You don't ovulate on the pill, so plan B does nothing but screw up your cycle. I wish you girls would understand what your pills do. You are protected all the time, not just when you are taking active pills.

do you think you could explain the ovulation cycle then? I haven't actually taken the plan B pill yet i was just about to go to the store but now if you're both telling me i don't need it then i'll listen. i just want to understand what is happening. I literally took the last red pill yesterday morning, had unprotected sex yesterday night, and am going to start on the placebo pills today. And i STILL don't need to take plan B?

Right. NO PLAN B! Hormonal birth control stops you from ovulating that is how it protects you from getting pregnant. No ovulation means no egg which means no matter how many sperm enter your body there can be no baby!

I think you are confused on what your birth control pills and plan b actually do. As long as you had been taking your birth control pill correctly you were protected and did not need to take a plan B pill. All plan B does is delay ovulation and on hormonal birth control you don't ovulate. You took a huge dose of hormones by taking the plan B when you didn't need to. Do not take anymore! The plan B will mess up your cycle you could have bleeding when it's not expected and experience all sorts of other side effects such as a late period, cramps, sore breasts. Just keep taking your birth control pills no matter what. And no more plan B pills!

I just feel like because i am on the white pills now i'm going to get pregnant. I don't know maybe i'm just not understanding what my birth control actually does.
