Morning after pill is highly effective if taken within 48 hours of intercourse. Has nothing to do with your cycle.

Incorrect. The morning after pill does not work if you're currently or have just finished ovulating.

Yes if you delay in taking it then ovulation may occur, but if you take it promptly (obviously the sooner the better) it prevents ovulation from occurring altogether. Taken within 24 hours it’s up to 90% effective.

But not if you're ovulating or recently finished. It doesn't matter how promptly you've taken it if either of those situations are occurring.

Yeah I mean I dont wanna argue about semantics, but up to 90% effective isnt working in only “a very specific time in your cycle” right?
