How Effective Is Plan B Emergency Contraceptive In Preventing Pregnancy?
Question: If I ejaculated in a girl who wasn't ovulating and then she used plan b one step within the hour what is the percentage that it worked?
Brief Answer:
At least 95%.
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
If she used it within 1hour after ejaculation, the chances of pregnancy even with ovulation are at most 5%. Because she was not ovulating, there is almost no risk because you cannot get pregnant when you were not ovulating. I will recommend that you always strive to use a condom during sexual encounters to protect both infections and pregnancy.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
