Ovulation doesn't mean that the pill won't work. When taken correctly, the morning after pill will protect you from pregnancy.
Morning-after pills can prevent pregnancy because conception typically doesn't occur immediately after sex. Instead, it may happen up to several days later. During the time between sex and conception, sperm travel through the fallopian tubes until they potentially reach an egg. As a result, using emergency contraception soon after unprotected sex isn't too late to prevent pregnancy.
Try not to stress out, chances are that the pill has worked. Remember that the pill may cause changes in your regular period, but if you are more than one week late on your cycle, take a pregnancy test.
