Hey so I took the Ella one pill 4 days after I had sex I was on the pill and still am but I threw up the day before I had sex an your meant to leave it 2 days before having sex without a condom but I only left it one day. So I took the Ella one and Im 10 days late for my period, is there a chance Im pregnant? The doctors say I have to wait 3 weeks since I had sex to take a pregnancy test but I want to know if I could be pregnant even though I took Ella one and Ive been told to continue to take the pill
Hello, thanks for using Chat Doctor You were on contraceptive pills before you had the unprotected intercourse and four days after the unprotected intercourse you took the Elaine pill. EllaOne pill is a progesterone-like Chat Doctor.  Though the effectiveness is more during the first days, the fact that you were on contraceptive pills already makes it less likely that you could be pregnant. The delay in period is likely due to the effect of the Elaine pill which causes an alteration in menstrual cycle such as delay, heavy menses etc. but only for a couple of cycles. However, you still have to wait and do a pregnancy test later to be sure. Best regards and hope this helps you
