Welcome to EmpowHER. I am glad you reached out to our community with your question.
All emergency contraceptives prevent pregnancy by preventing ovulation. The high dose of levonorgestrel does just that.
If you have a 28 to 30 day menstrual cycle, you were probably close to or about to ovulate when you took the pill. You also took the pill quickly, so it should be effective.
You will know that it worked and you did not become pregnant when you have bleeding. If you do not have any bleeding within three weeks of taking the pill, then you need to test for pregnancy.
