Q: can levonogestrel (plan b pill) work to stop ovulation if i took it 4 days before ovulating and 5 hours after sex?

: "Plan B" will not "stop ovulation" when taken as described, but may work to prevent implantation of a fertilized egg. Plan B is not always effective, however, so if your period is delayed, obtain a serum HCG test to be certain about pregnancy.
