"&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Question: &amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;Will Taking Plan B Cause a Miscarriage?&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;With increasing over-the-counter availability of &amp;amp;#34;Plan B&amp;amp;#34; emergency contraception, many people are wondering if Plan B can be a way out of an unwanted pregnancy.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Answer: &amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The answer is: No, plan B will not cause a miscarriage or induce an abortion in an existing pregnancy. Although there are prescription-only drugs that can terminate a pregnancy, plan B does not fall into that category.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Instead, Plan B falls in the category of &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/the-emergency-contraception-debate-906719&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;emergency contraception&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;. When taken within a few days of unprotected sex, before a woman is technically pregnant yet, emergency contraception will reduce the odds of pregnancy occurring. Because one possibility is that plan B may impede implantation of a fertilized egg, people who strongly believe in pregnancy beginning at fertilization may claim that plan B will cause an abortion, but after implantation has already taken place (which occurs roughly 8 to 12 days after conception), plan B will &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;not&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;\u00A0cause an abortion or induce a miscarriage.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;By the time it is possible to confirm that you are pregnant (as in get a positive result on a &amp;lt;a data-inlink=&amp;quot;cAYS96IL61nGNKfyGD4MBw&amp;amp;#61;&amp;amp;#61;&amp;quot; href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/home-pregnancy-tests-906656&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;home pregnancy test&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;), implantation has already taken place and taking plan B will not have any effect.
