Question 1

does plan b work if you are ovulating he used a condom but it broke and he pulled out ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Plan B can work in one of three ways depending on where you are in your cycle. It can prevent or delay ovulation, can interfere with the fertilization of the egg or may prevent implantation by altering the lining of the uterus. If you take Plan B One-Step within 24 hours, it is about 95% effective.

Question 2

is it normal to have white discharge after taking plan b? does this mean it didn't work? also does plan b work if you were ovulating when you took it?

Accepted Answer

Plan B: Plan B works by delaying or inhibiting ovulation. It decreases the risk of pregnancy by about 70%. If you are having vaginal discharge then this should be evaluated independently and one should not assume it is caused by Plan B. Consider seeing your obgyn for evaluation and testing

Question 3

does plan b work if you have already ovulated?

Accepted Answer

Plan B can be used: at any time during a woman's menstrual cycle. Plan B One-Step is up to 89 % effective when taken within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sex. It can reduce chance of pregnancy by up to 95% if used within 24 hours. It continues to reduce the risk of pregnancy up to 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected sex, but is less effective as time passes.

Question 4

does plan b work if taken the day ovulation starts?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It works if you take it within 72 hrs of unprotected sex irrespective of the cycle date.

Question 5

does plan b work if sex happened during ovulation, no ejaculation, and condom.

Accepted Answer

No: Plan b works by preventing ovulation. If you already ovulated it will not benefit you.

Question 6

how does plan b work when you're ovulating?

Accepted Answer

Plan B: Given the uncertainty in timing of ovulation, emergency contraception is offered, when indicated, without regard to day of the menstrual cycle.

Direct laboratory evidence overwhelmingly supports the hypothesis that oral emergency contraceptives work primarily by delaying ovulation.

Treatment is ineffective once implantation has occurred.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Yes: Plan b will still work even if it is taken at the time of ovulation.  Remember Plan B is most effective the sooner it is taken to the time of sex.  Effectiveness goes down after 72 hours.
