A member asked:
Sorry,a follow up question to the previous. will the morning after pill prevent fertilization/implantation in the egg knowing that they are ovulating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The morning-after pill works by delaying ovulation. Sperm hang around for several days but no pregnancy will occur if ovulation is delayed until the sperm are all gone. If an egg is already there, the morning after pill doesn't prevent fertilization or implantation. The good news is that the egg is viable for a short time, not days and days. Best wishes!
