How This Plan B Risk Estimate Works

The model first estimates baseline conception probability from cycle timing (using your LMP and cycle length to infer likely ovulation timing). It then applies a time-to-dose Plan B reduction factor that is strongest early and weaker over time.

Core concept

Residual risk = baseline risk × (1 − Plan B effectiveness)

Because levonorgestrel mainly delays ovulation, effectiveness can be lower if ovulation has already occurred. The tool highlights when alternatives (ella or copper IUD) may be worth discussing urgently.

Important limitation

This is educational, not diagnostic. Individual risk differs by true ovulation date, sperm survival variability, and real-world adherence. For urgent decisions, seek clinical care promptly.
