A member asked:
Is plan b effective if you already or are ovulating. (if taken withing 72hrs)?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: It is still effective and must be used within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse. Expect that it will cause some breakthrough bleeding and a delay in your next cycle. Also, check a pregnancy test in about 2 weeks.
