A member asked:

Doc say plan b can skip period completely. how can it do that when the effect is gone from bod within few days. i took it during period. it trick body?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Affects ovulation: To the degree that Plan B interferes with ovulation it may affect the period, which normally occurs 2 weeks after ovulation. Taken during your period its effect will be minimal. Practically speaking, i see minimal effects on periods from plan b.
