So here's my story, mlp on 6/26/06
ovulated on 7/8/06 had sex the night
before and the condom came off wayy up
there took some time to retrieve (tmi)
lol. Took plan b late saturday night.
Now i'm having some right sided cramping
"pinching" somewhere near my right ovary.
I know I ovulated before taking plan b
because of mittleshmirtz and opk. I know
it's way to early to be concerened about
ectopic so I was just wondering if anyone
had any ideas as to what this could be.
I know it's not constipation and it feels
unlike af cramping as it is localised and
very specific feeling.
Any opinions would be great.

Plan b does not really work after
ovulation, it's main action is to prevent
ovulation, and that is why women will get
pregnant even if they use plan b.
Have you considered taking an early
pregnancy test at all? Pp could give you
an early blood pregnancy test.

A little confused here, I thought plan b
also prevented fertilisation and
implantation. (which is why I was unsure
if I wanted to take it) does it matter how
long after ovulation I took it. I'm
almost positive (and doc agrees) that I
ovulated around 10 am and didn't take the
first plan b pill until around 11pm. Any
more info you have would be great thanks.
I'll probably test either way mon or tues
no point in wasting a test this early.
Thanks

In r clinical trials they have found that
the primary action of plan b is to stop
ovulation. Just like our bodies naturally
raise progestin levels after we ovulate,
these two pills do the same.. It tricks
your body into thinking it ovulated.
But the study also shows the 'possibility'
of preventing implantation, but this is
not considered a primary action like many
people may think. It also conisdered
rarer for the plan b to act on
implantation, but because it 'could' do
this, it must be mentioned.
I have an iud, it prevents
implantation...That is one of the primary
actions, which I am okay with because I am
pro choice.

Thank you for the info I knew there was
less of a cance of it working on
implantation but not to the extent you are
talking. I realise that you can't say for
sure but what do you think the chances are
i'm pregnant and since it's the weekend
and I don't want to bother my doc when
should I take a pregnancy test? Are you a
nurse I can't remember?
Also I am pro choice as well.
(let's hope this doesn't start a debate
here) :)

Me too..The reason I mentioned that I was
pro choice is to see how you may respond,
so I know how to effectively communicate
with you.
For someone who is pro-life, there are
certian things I know that I should avoid
when giving advice..
There is a chance you could be pregnant,
and there is also a chance that your
ovulation could have been
miscalculated..There is always hope..
You can take a pregnancy test 5 days
before a period is due..It has t be one
that specifically says early though :)

I'm about as certain as you can get on
ovulation soooo I guess that raises my
chances thanks again for your help. I
appreciate the info.
