A member asked:
How does plan b affect the ovulation if used before? does it stop it altogether or delay? and if delay by how long?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Typical with Plan B: Plan b essentially disrupts the normal menstrual cycle by blocking or delaying ovulation. That it is how it works and why it is so different than a medical abortion. Irregular bleeding after taking Plan B is not rare. Always check a pregnancy test after using Plan B and see a doctor to start a better form of birth control.
