Yes, ovulation does affect the morning-after pill's effectiveness. The morning-after pill, particularly those containing levonorgestrel, is most effective when taken before ovulation, as it primarily works by preventing or delaying the release of an egg. If ovulation has already occurred, the pill may be less effective, especially in cases where ulipristal acetate is used, which can still inhibit fertilization or implantation but may not prevent pregnancy if ovulation has already taken place.
