I took ellaOne on 02/06 and I had the first day of my last period on 01/18. So theoretically it was after ovulation. I have a regular period every 28 days. Unfortunately, last weekend (11/02) the condom broke again, so I consulted a doctor who said that I should take another ellaOne tablet. From what I've read, you shouldn't take this tablet twice in one cycle. Does it make sense to take ellaOne when the event occurred on non-fertile days (3 days before the scheduled date of the period)?
Good morning! In particular, after using EllaOne, vaginal bleeding should occur. If not, please take the tablet again. At the same time, please consider using permanent hormonal contraception to reduce the risk of an unwanted pregnancy. Regards
