Good morning.
If you take a tablet escapelle I had a bowel movement 2 times during the day, could this have weakened the effect of the pill? It wasn't diarrhea, just stool. Does having a bowel movement affect how well the tablet works? I would like to add that I took the pill in the morning, after an hour I passed the feces and around 3.00 p.m. again. Is there a chance that the drug has not been absorbed?

Nie, dwukrotne wypróżnienie się nie osłabia skuteczności tabletki Escapelle. W Pani przypadku lek bez problemu się wchłąnął.
Na skuteczność tabletki ma wpływ biegunka, czyli oddanie płynnego lub półpłynnego stolca co najmniej 3 razy w przeciągu 3 godzin od przyjęcia antykoncepcji awaryjnej.

Postinor is one tablet containing 1.5 mg (or 1500 mcg) of levonorgestrel. Mentioned below is Postinor-Duo (Postinor 2) - another version of the preparation, which consists of two tablets of 0.75 mg (i.e. 750 mcg) of levonorgestrel.

Escapelle and Postinor are the same drug. You received your answer here, in another forum thread: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/53468/escapelle-jaka-jest-skutecznosc-escapelle
Only that on my Postinor there was only one pill and it wrote that it was 1500 mcg

Postinor and Escapelle are drugs intended for emergency contraception, but they differ in trade name and dose. Both contain the same active ingredient – levonorgestrel. Escapelle at a dose of 1.5 mg, and Postinor-Duo - 0.75 mg in one tablet.
They work best when they are taken as soon as possible after the event, preferably within 12 hours, but up to a maximum of 72 hours. It is a good idea to consult your doctor or pharmacist before using it to make sure that the medication is suitable.

To get a reliable pregnancy test result, it is best to wait at least 7-10 days after sex. During this time, the beta-hCG hormone, which is detected by tests, has a chance to reach a sufficient concentration in the urine. However, it is best to wait until the day your period should occur to minimize the risk of a false negative result.
In the case of blood tests, they can be performed as early as 8-10 days after conception, which allows for earlier confirmation of pregnancy.
After what
How soon can I do a pregnancy test as soon as possible? How many days must pass since a dangerous intercourse

Sex a week before the expected period is associated with a small risk of pregnancy, but it is not completely excluded. If the cycle is regular, ovulation occurs about 14 days before menstruation. Sperm can survive in the body for up to 5-7 days, and the egg cell lives 12-24 hours after ovulation. To make sure that you have not become pregnant, it is best to take a pregnancy test after the expected date of your period.
If I had sex a week before my period and I get my period in a week, does it mean that I am not pregnant?

To @Annna:
Having a bowel movement 6 hours after taking the pill does not affect its effectiveness, as the drug works systemically and not locally in the intestines.
If I passed a large stool 6 hours after taking an Escapelle tablet, will the Escapelle pill work?

Even if the stool occurs two hours after taking the tablet.
Even if I pass stool 2 hours after taking the Escapelle pill ?

A bowel movement does not impair the effectiveness of Escapelle.
If I have hard stool after taking the pill the day after Escapelle, will that mean I won't be protected from pregnancy?
