Young woman took two Plan B pills in one day after having unprotected sex twice

Young woman took two Plan B pills in one day after having unprotected sex twice – but doctors say it’s pointless

  • Amy Mae took two morning after pills in 24 hours after having unprotected sex 
  • Doctor says this is unnecessary and pointless 

A young woman who had unprotected sex twice in the same day said she took two morning after pills in 24 hours ‘just to be safe’ – but doctors say that taking the pill twice is pointless.

Amy Mae, from Adelaide, claims she had to do the ‘walk of shame to the pharmacy twice in one day’ following the bedroom ‘accidents’.

Australian General Practitioner Dr Deb Cohen-Jones confirmed with FEMAIL there’s no need to take two ‘Plan B’ pills in the same day. The respected doctor, who has a focus on women’s health, said the idea was ridiculous. 

The 19-year-old OnlyFans star shared a now-viral TikTok detailing the situation and telling FEMAIL both ‘accidents’ were with the same man.

The Plan B which is also known as the morning after pill, when taken appropriately, stops the woman’s egg from being released and therefore stops her from becoming pregnant.

If the young woman had had unprotected sex twice in one day then she still would have been covered by the one pill.

In the video Amy said at first she wasn’t worried, but quickly became worried the second time round.

‘When it happened the first time I was like ”it’s fine, I’ll just get a Plan B”,’ she said. 

‘And then the second time it happened later in the day I was stressed because I didn’t know if the Plan B would cover me or if I needed a new one.

‘So I had to do the walk of shame back to the pharmacist and ask.’

Amy started her OnlyFans just six months ago and says she is already in the top percentage of creators. 

‘I was told by my pharmacist to take two Plan B’s just to be safe, however it sparked a huge amount of controversy in the comments,’ she told FEMAIL. 

How often can you take the morning after pill?

Taking the morning after pill (also known as emergency contraception) multiple times doesn’t change its effectiveness, and won’t cause any long-term side effects. 

You can use the morning after pill whenever you need to.

But it’s not a good idea to use the morning after pill as your regular, go-to method of birth control. This is because: 

  • The morning-after pill doesn’t prevent pregnancy as well as other types of birth control like the IUD, implant, pill, shot, ring, or condoms.
  • Taking the morning-after pill over and over again is usually more expensive and less convenient than being on a regular method of birth control.
  • Morning-after pill side effects – like bleeding between periods or nausea – are temporary and harmless, but they can be annoying.
  • The morning-after pill might make your periods irregular and hard to predict when you’re using it a lot.

Australian General Practitioner Dr Deb Cohen-Jones confirmed with FEMAIL there’s no need to take two ‘Plan B’ pills in the same day. 

The respected doctor, who has a focus on women’s health, said the idea was ridiculous 

The video has since been viewed a staggering five million times and many said it’s ‘pointless’ taking two morning-after pills in one day.  

‘Sweetie you did not need two.. are you okay?’ one commented, another said: ‘Twice is crazy.’ 

A third added: ‘Doesn’t matter how much you take [it] because they just cancel each other out. So only one is ever needed.’

However, despite the backlash, other women admitted they’ve done the same thing in the past ‘to be safe’. 

‘I wasn’t sure so it took two over a few days as well,’ one woman said, another said: ‘I would’ve done the same thing.’ 

Another woman said she relies on the IUD so she doesn’t need to ‘keep taking’ the morning after pill.
