How Does Plan B Work?

Plan B is an emergency contraceptive that works by delaying ovulation. This means it works to temporarily delay the release of an egg from the ovary, which reduces the chance of fertilization after the intimate encounter. However, it’s important to note that Plan B does not guarantee 100% effectiveness, especially if ovulation has already occurred.​

Why Plan B May Not Be the Best Option

Although Plan B is marketed as a convenient and quick over-the-counter solution, there are things to consider:

• Side Effects: Many women report side effects such as nausea, irregular bleeding, headaches, and changes in their menstrual cycle.  

• Uncertainty: Plan B’s effectiveness is uncertain, as it may not work if ovulation has already occurred or if pregnancy has already begun.
