A 19-year-old male asked:
Can Plan B work after giving birth a month later ?

Plan B works: Plan b works when taking as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse. If you gave birth one month ago then you may have ovulated and pregnancy is possible. It is most effective when taken within 72 hours of intercourse.
