A member asked:

Condom broke on ovulation day.took planb 1step. how's pregnancy prevented if egg released? everything i read except for planb site says it won't work

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stops implantation: Even if fertilization were to occur, the hormonal effect of 'plan b' would interfere with the lining of the uterus making implantation of a fertilized egg extremely unlikely.
