plan b after unprotected sex
I'm the type of person who likes to use condoms. I feel like it's a lot safer than plan b after unprotected sex. But I was always curious, what if someone had unprotected sex and someone pulled out of came inside, which ever one and they take plan b right afterwards and after rinsing and urinating?? Would they still be safe? I know there's always a chance of pregnancy, but how much of a chance will there be?
I see all the time that there are people that have unprotected sex and the day afterwards they take plan b and they're fine.
So, is the pull out method and plan b or the coming inside and plan b can decrease your chances of getting pregnant?

In addition to Razhie's excellent answer, I'd like to add the following:
Plan B is not meant to be taken as birth control. It's incredibly tough on the body. My friend had to take it, and she was stuck with awful cramps and extremely heavy bleeding. It basically causes you to get your period all at once. She was in agony for a few days.
What it's meant for is, well, a plan b! If you're using a condom and it breaks, or if you have a really stupid drunk night like my friend did and wake up in some guy's bed not knowing what happened, you can take it to reduce your chances of getting pregnant. It's not for regular use, and could cause some real damage if you do misuse it.

Unfortunately, Uniqueme is quite wrong.
The "Pull out and Plan B" approach is less effective than condom use. Plan B was not intended to be used that way, the dosage is much higher than normal one-pill-a-day birth control, and it shouldn't be relied on as your primary form of birth control. There are no huge health risks for most young woman, but it will seriously confuse your system to be constantly taking PlanB, not to mention, expensive.
The pullout method is an idiotic idea. 1 in 4 people using the pull out method will get pregnant each year. That number is even higher for teens. PlanB doesn't make it any less idiotic a method for people who do not wish to become pregnant.
Condoms are the more effective form of birth control and protection against STDs, for regular sexual activity.
But it's a good thing to know about Plan B and were you can acquire it, just in case you ever have a condom break. It happens to everyone who has enough sex - statically, sooner or later, a condom breaks.
Plan B is most effective when it's taken within 24 hours of having unprotected sex. That's because it prevents fertilization, and most fertilization of the egg actually happens between 18 hours and 3 days after you have unprotected sex. For that reason, Plan B is pretty much just as effective (about 95% effective at preventing fertilization) three hours after you have sex, as it is 24 hours later. There is no reason to be overly concerned if you have to wait till a drug store opens in the morning to get PlanB.

The "pull out and plan b" is a lot safer if you don't want to get pregnant. BUT there is always a chance of STDs if there is unprotected sex. Usually plan b works very well even if someone came inside of you, but if you want to be absolutely certain have the guy pull out.
