Still Ovulating? (Top voted first)
UpdatedHello, I am concerned I am ovulating and the pill is not working. I took plan b 20 hrs after the condom failed. It is possible I was ovulating. Now 3 days later I feel the twinge of ovulation, that dull ache in my lower stomach. Also my cervical mucus has changed like ovulation. I'm very worried that the pill is not working? Thoughts?

Hello, Kos! How are you? Has there been any change?
Plan B is very effective if taken within the first 24 hours, though there is always a small risk that it won't work.
The symptoms you described can be typical side effects of taking it, according to FDA reports. You may also experience nausea, headache, and spotting, however yes, they could also be signs of ovulation.
If you don't start your period when you should, it would be best to have yourself checked for pregnancy.
Is there anything else I can help with?
Thank you for your reply. I am very nervous but I havnt had any side effects from the pill. The slight cramping only lasted 2 days. Now I just have normal tightness due to anxiety and not eating. I feel very misled by plan b because on the box it didn't say anything about ovulation and only talks about how effective it is. Had I known what I know now I would have taken Ella or had an iud but it is to late now :( I wish they could change that to stop misleading people. just hoping for the best even though I fear the worst.
