Hello, from Friday to Saturday I had intercourse with my partner. Today I went to the gynecologist and got a prescription for a EllaOne tablet (120h) and then I took it. Today or tomorrow I should get my period. What is the chance that I will be pregnant? Is there a chance that the pill will work and will my menstruation be delayed?

To @Rosa:
After taking ellaOne, your period bleeding may occur a few days earlier or later than expected.
I took ellaone on 22/11, my period was supposed to arrive on 10/12... I received them on 22/12
Probably I disturbed my menstruation with this pill;)
Now it looks as if it was the end of menstruation.
Only I am surprised that the bleeding disappeared and then again appeared for the evening;)
However, there is still bleeding, less but it is, it is possible that my menstruation could have deregulated;)

Menstruation can be shortened for any of the various reasons, e.g. after taking the tablet after. This is not incorrect, because the human body does not work "like clockwork".
I will add that my periods last from 5 to 6 days.
Hello, my menstruation ended today. It started with pain in the stomach as usual and was abundant only worried that it ended so quickly practically lasted less than 3 days. Is this the effect of the pill I took? Should I be worried?

Yes, the cycle will be the same as before.
I have one more question for you. I have never taken such a pill before, if my menstruation has passed, should I now be more careful when it comes to sexual intercourse? Will my cycle be the same as it has been so far?

It's menstruation! I am very happy ;) So the tablet worked properly and the cycle did not interfere, I got my period on its due date. Thank you for all your advice, greetings :)

It's too early to worry - please wait. If menstruation does not appear within 2 weeks, you can go to the gynecologist. The tablet does not have a "grip point", because ovulation has already taken place, therefore there is no way to work, but the description shows that you had sex on infertile days, so this fact alone reduces the risk of fertilization.

Okay, so if I took a pill on the day of the planned menstruation and the bleeding has not yet appeared, should I worry about it? So the pill may not have worked?

By all means - stress can postpone menstruation.

I have one more question. Can menstruation be late under severe stress? More than once I had 3-4 days late menstruation or 3-4 days before the deadline. I have to wait patiently for menstruation, I hope everything will be fine.

"Bleeding has not yet appeared." - it can move by about 5-7 days, later I would recommend taking a test, preferably from blood. "Since this incident I can not practically sleep, I think about it all the time, I am very stressed and worried, even sometimes I will cry from nerves, I am distracted all the time ..." - if you are afraid of pregnancy, it is no wonder - you are stressed.

I will add that my cycles last 26-27 days. According to the calendar, the day of ovulation was 26.01. Bleeding has not yet appeared.

If you took the pill on the day of your period, I understand that the bleeding has already appeared?

Yesterday on the day of menstruation I took a pill or can it now delay my menstruation or postpone it by a few days? A little stupid on my part that I took it so late and it's still on the day of menstruation;)

From 14 days after intercourse upwards.

My last menstrual period was on 13.01. I'm a little stressed by the whole situation;) In that case, when is the best time to do a pregnancy test in this situation?

After taking ellaOne in a timely manner, usually 2 out of 100 women become pregnant. If you took the pill at the time required after intercourse, and the intercourse took place before ovulation, then the tablet should work. The therapeutic effect of ellaOne is to delay the onset of ovulation, so the drug is effective if taken before it occurs. Ovulation takes place about 14 days before menstruation. From the entry I conclude that the intercourse most likely took place after ovulation, because you are just before menstruation. If the pill cannot work, it should be remembered that you are already after the release of the egg, so the chances of fertilization are rather low - not every unprotected intercourse ends in pregnancy. After taking ellaOne, menstruation may be delayed. I am attaching a study that may be helpful: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/blog/edukacja-ciazowa-o-co-pacjenci-anonimowo-pytaja-farmaceutow
