A member asked:

Can you still get pregnant if you take plan b while ovulation?

Dr. Jeffrey Levine answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Yes: Plan B provides effective protection (~88%) against unintended pregnancy if taken appropriately, but it is certainly not 100%. Plan B works primarily by preventing ovulation. Thus it is less effective if you have already ovulated, though it may still help prevent implantation.
