Hello, my period ended on July 2nd. The day of ovulation according to the periodic calendar was July 12, on the night of July 13 at about 1 a.m. I had unprotected intercourse and today at about 12 o'clock I took a pill the day after Ellaone. Will the pill be effective in this situation and protect me from unwanted pregnancy?

There is still a chance that the pill worked properly. Especially since she was admitted shortly after intercourse. The symptoms you are experiencing now may be a side effect of the drug.
If you still have doubts, in 2-3 days you can take a pregnancy test - blood test (in the laboratory) or urine test (you can buy it at the pharmacy and do it at home). In order for the result to be reliable, it is worth performing a morning urine test at such an early stage.
Ellaone taken after ovulation, the calendar indicates the chance of getting pregnant as a medium chance. Will the pill also work in this situation?
Currently 8 days before my expected menstrual period and I feel breast and abdominal pain, whether it is the result of taking a pill, pregnancy or an upcoming period. I will add that I had intercourse on Sunday 13, ovulation showed up at 12, and I took the pill on 14 around 12.

It will be less effective than if you had taken the pill before or during ovulation. However, please remember that in your case it was still the middle of the cycle, so there is a good chance that the drug worked properly.
If I had sex the day after ovulation and I had information in my "calendar" that the chance of getting pregnant was average, and the next day I took ellaone, will the pill be effective? In the information about the pill it says that you can take it on any day of your cycle.

ellaOne works by inhibiting or delaying ovulation. If ovulation has already occurred, the drug is ineffective. So there is a risk of pregnancy, especially since the intercourse took place on fertile days. I encourage you to take a pregnancy test 10-14 days after intercourse or to test the concentration of beta-HCG in the blood in the laboratory at least 7 days after intercourse.
