By causing bleeding: These pills cause your cycle to start and thus prevent implantation.

Prevents ovulation: Both morning after pills (Plan B and generics, as well as Ella) work by preventing your body from releasing an egg. Ovulation can be delayed by several days which is important because sperm can still fertilize an egg up to 5 days after sex.
