Plan B failed me
I ovulated 2 days before having unprotected sex. I thought because I already ovulated the chances of me getting pregnant were less however I was aware I was still fertile so I took plan B the next day. I missed my period and took a home pregnancy test and it is positive. On top of all of that I just had a miscarriage in February and I don't feel like my body is ready for another pregnancy. Is plan b not effective if you have already ovulated?
Not really. It's meant to prevent the release of an egg from the womb (ovulation), so if it already happened, you're unlikely to be protected. From its website:
"It works mainly by stopping the release of an egg from the ovary. It is possible that Plan B One-Step® may also work by preventing fertilization of an egg (the uniting of sperm with the egg) or by preventing attachment (implantation) to the uterus (womb)."
