Hello, I had unprotected sex with a boyfriend last week. The ejaculation happened outside, not inside me, but I checked my calendar that I was ovulating at that time. The day after I immediately took an escapelle pill. What is the chance that I got pregnant?

To @Dexter:
The answer to your question was given in another thread:
And the "morning after" pill sometimes has an early abortifacient effect? So, isn't it the murder of an embryo - a child at the beginning of its development, an abortion? The same applies to some contraceptive pills, which have a double effect, so in addition to their contraceptive effect, they can lead to miscarriage.
"Another effect of the use of hormonal agents is their possible early abortifacient effect. This is caused by a decrease in the thickness of the uterine mucosa, which may result in difficulty in implanting the embryo. This means an early, imperceptible miscarriage for the woman" (source: "W Drodze" 2013, no. 05)
"Korzekwa-Kaliszuk noted that the so-called "morning after" pill "can work in two ways:
"One of these actions is indeed contraceptive action, i.e. one that prevents conception of a child. However, if conception has already occurred, or it will occur despite the use of the pill - and it is possible - then the pill works by hindering the movement of the already fertilized egg and causes changes in the mucous membrane to the uterus, which prevent it from implanting" - she said.
In this case, it is unacceptable. We don't know how it can work, we don't have this certainty, so it's better not to risk, not to play with human life - it may end badly, and the woman may not even realize what happened. Not to mention the side effects on a woman's health, which are enormous.

I conclude that interrupted intercourse took place, which is not a very effective form of contraception. It is believed that even in the case of ejaculation outside the female genital tract, some of the semen can be released in the preejaculate and lead to fertilization, so methods with documented effectiveness (pills, condoms, etc.) are a better solution. The action of the "morning after pill" is mainly based on the inhibition/delay of ovulation, which is why its effectiveness is highest in the preovulatory period.
To sum up - it is difficult to assess the real risk of getting pregnant, although it seems small. If menstruation is delayed for more than a week or bleeding deviates from the norm, it is advisable to take a pregnancy test.
In case of any doubts, I encourage you to use the teleconsultation with a gynaecologist - the service is available on our website in the e-visit tab:
