A member asked:

Does plan b work during the whole cycle including ovulation or most fertile days after taking it 24 hours later after unprotected sex?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Plan b works at any point in the cycle. Plan b prevents ovulation, so of course, if you've already ovulated, it won't affect course of cycle. Best is to take it immediately after unprotected sex as it has the highest effectivness then.
