A member asked:

Plan b works during ovulation? if it's the case , a sperm can fertilize an ovule in hours , it can still be effective?

The Plan B: Causes a delay in ovulation, so that the egg should not get released and therefore not be available to the sperm to fertilize it. If a woman had already ovulated, then the Plan B wouldn't work.
