Did ellaOne work?

Hello, I had intercourse with my partner, (according to my calendar it was the day before ovulation) on the second day (i.e. ovulation according to the calendar) around 12 o'clock I took an ellaOne tablet, about 6 p.m. there was a slight spotting. What is the chance that the pill did not work?

ellaOne is effective if it was used before ovulation occurred. The effectiveness of the preparation is approx. 97%. ellaOne shows the highest effectiveness when taken within the first 24 hours after intercourse: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/87820/ellaone-tabletki/apteki Spotting is one of the side effects of ellaOne. It does not reduce or increase the effectiveness of the preparation. I encourage you to report the occurrence of spotting after using the tablet. Reporting side effects allows you to increase control over medicines available on the market. More about how and why to report side effects, we wrote in the article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-i-dlaczego-zglaszac-dzialania-niepozadane When using a "calendar", it is impossible to clearly determine the moment of occurrence of ovulation. Using only the calendar-based method is considered an ineffective method of contraception. I encourage you to consult a gynecologist in order to choose the right method of contraception for you. You can also take advantage of the teleadvice offered m.in by the Gdziepolek.pl portal: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja After using the ellaOne tablet, the date of menstrual bleeding may be postponed. In case of delay by more than 7 days, I encourage you to take a pregnancy test. We wrote more about which pregnancy test to choose in the article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/test-ciazowy-jaki-wybrac-i-kiedy-zrobic I encourage you to familiarize yourself with additional materials that may be useful: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/antykoncepcja-hormonalna https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/tabletka-po-czyli-antykoncepcja-awaryjna
