PlanB (morning after) pill
The condom broke and I had to take the PlanB pill, the next day me and my baby daddy had sex (couldnt help it)and wasnt able to have access to a condom. So we did the pull out thing, because we did that, I had to take a another planB pill. I took the two technical dosages within 3 days, in which they have possibly overlapped. Do you think that because I took it the first time do you think it would have prevented me from getting pregnant when we did it the second time? I tried looking it up online, but it didnt specify or was unclear. So for future references and curiosity sake... what do you think?

No, your previous use of PlanB would not have protected you in the second case. Or, more specifically, it wouldn't have protected you very well, even if it did.
HOWEVER, there is a much more serious problem here: It's called PlanB for a reason. It shouldn't be 'Plan-oh-well-there-were-no-condoms-but-we-were-horny'. It’s not ‘just like’ birth control pills; it’s different and more potent. It's a medication. Using a medication differently then it was intended is never smart, or responsible.
This isn't about a sex thing, so please don't think I'm trying to insult you for having unprotected sex, the issue is you should NEVER use medication differently then it is intended. NEVER.
PlanB hasn't been tested for that kind of frequent use. There is reason to believe that PlanB would not be safe if taken regularly, it can cause cardiac issues and issues with blood circulation and clotting… that is without even mentioning its other ‘normal’ side effects. But there are no tests or evidence, because it’s not supposed to be used that way anyways...
If you don't want too or can't use condoms take a regular birth control pill, and take them properly. Do not rely on frequent use of PlanB.
