I have felt some small guilt but thats when I go to church and see all the babies the mothers are holding. A warning though, it screws up your period for about 3 months and the period after you take it is like going through hell. Hope this helps! ^.^

It's okay to use plan B, but not as a regular thing like every month, somehow it may disturb your hormones and your cycle, but it all depends on the person, I've used it 3 times I think, and the last time it gave me spotting.
And you shouldn't feel guilty, because it PREVENTS pregnancy, it does not TERMINATE an existing pregnancy.
So there's really nothing to feel bad about. Practice safe sex.

What the plan b does is to keep egg from fertilize with sperms, therefore a baby isn't made yet until pass 5 days. You can take the plan b, within 5 days of sex, it be like, starting your period. Like all birth control pills, plan B does not prevent stds. I've been on that twice and never need to feel guilty. But with limit use only, (4 times a year I think), planned parenthood give them cheaper or free, depending on base your incomes. As always please use condom, it best safe not only prevent pregnancy, it also prevent from getting types of stds. If a guy refuse use condom just because, just don't do it.

An unplanned pregnancy can have many more consequences thanfeeling guilty.
So I think it depends on your situation...
If you think you may be pregnant you need to honestly assess your situation and consider what is the best plan of action to take ( best for you, best for the child and best for your partner).
It is always best to avoid these situations. So get yourself on the oral contraceptive pill to avoid. Take care of yourself and make the best decision for yourself and your situation.
