Morning after pill, how it works?

Many ask regarding the morning after pill; how it works? Well, the answer is by delaying or stopping ovulation by not allowing the egg to be released from the ovary. This in turn reduces the chances of becoming pregnant substantially. It does not cause an abortion and in some instances, it also prevents the sperm and egg meeting by thickening cervical mucus. The pill does not affect an existing pregnancy.
