I started taking birth control pills on 2/21/2021, the Sunday after my last period which began on 2/13/2021. I had unprotected sex on 3/3 and took Plan B a few hours later. I weigh 180 lbs and am concerned about the effectiveness of Plan B and my protection from pregnancy. How protected am I, and should I take any additional measures?

Even after only 9 days of taking birth control pills, you are considered protected against pregnancy...

I have been getting yeast infections every time I have intercourse. I had my tubes tied in early June which resulted in an abscess. I was on hardcore antibiotics for 3 weeks every 8 hours via PICC line. I have treated the yeast infection with over the counter Monistat 3-4 times and once with Diflucan. I noticed symptoms again two days ago. It seems to go away and come back. I'm curious if the antibiotics are still taking a toll on the strength of the healthy bacteria down there. What could be causing this and what can I do to alleviate the symptoms until I can see a doctor?
