A member asked:
Plan b ones step work when ovulation? i've been breastfeeding my daughter of 17 months haven't had a period. took plan b 40hrs after unprotected sex.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Plan b works best when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex or contraceptive misadventure (failure) by preventing ovulation. Obviously, if you've just ovulated, then that doesn't help but it might prevent fertilization or implantation. Check out http://www.Planbonestep.Com/faqs.Aspx. If you don't want to have another child just yet, go see your doc to discuss your birth control options.
