"I am convinced that Plan B does not block implantation."

And yet...

"The reason I am still wary is the evidence that the "luteal" phase of the cycle - the time from ovulation to the time the woman starts shedding her uterine lining - is shortened in some women. If the lining is shed early, I can't be sure that there could not be a loss of an embryo which is beginning to implant."

Distinction without a difference alert.

There's a distinction, but I'm probably wrong to worry about it. From what I've seen, it looks as though the women with shorter cycles are the women who took the pills after ovulation, when they wouldn't have been fertile, anyway.

I just want more evidence, from more researchers.
