Question 1

can ellaone ulipristal have any effect on the next cycles? it is safe to conceive the next cycle after taking it?

Accepted Answer

: Ellaone with uripristal can inhibit pregnancy by affecting progesterone and is used as "emergency contraception", but should adversely affect fertility in the next menstrual cycle after discontinuing.

Question 2

ive taken ellaone yesterday at 11am. this evening i've had really bad heartburn so taken some bisodol heartburn relief that won't affect ellaone will it? will ellaone be out my system now if was taken yesterday at 11am? can i eat and drink normally?

Accepted Answer

: Medicine taken yesterday was long ago absorbed and anything that you take or do today will have no effect on it. Ella has a 32 hour half life, which means that after 32 hours half will remain in your system. It will be several days before it has completely cleared from your system.

Question 3

i tuck ellaone yesterday at 11am and all has been fine. i've woken up this morning at 6.30am and had 2 soft stools. has the pill still worked? it wasn't diarrhea. it was just soft. i've not been eating much so could be abit of ibs?

Accepted Answer

: Yes from your description the pain seems to have worked. IBS is more symptomatic and recurrent.

Question 4

after an hour of taking ellaone( the emergency contraceptive pill ), i went to poop( just a normal one not a diarrhoea). will it affects the effectiveness of the pill? thanks?

Accepted Answer

: The EC pill is absorbed in the upper part of your digestive tract just below the stomach. What you pooped was the leftover debris of what you consumed 2-4 days ago. Dumping the fecal debris did not effect the pill or how it will work for you.

Question 5

i had unprotected sex on first day of my period. he finished twice. my cycle is 30/31 days long, menstruation is present for 6-7 days. to lower risk of being pregnant, i took ellaone within 48 hours after sex. is there any chance of pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

: Anytime there is unprotected sex, there is a chance of pregnancy. If you miss your period, you should take a home pregnancy test to see if you are pregnant or not. If you don’t wish to become pregnant, you should see your doctor to begin some type of birth control. Your primary care doctor or gynecologist can help with contraception. Good luck!

Question 6

is it ok to take both levonelle and ellaone in one week ???

Accepted Answer

Yes: Resuming or initiating hormonal contraception should be started the day after the last emergency contraception has been taken( use a backup method condom for the first 7 days)

Question 7

taking ellaone this morning but am due to start taking norethisterone in a weeks time. is this ok to do?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you had   sex without birth control or condoms  then taking Ella or another form of emergency contraception is a good idea. Taking emergency contraction would not affect when you were directed to start taking other birth control.

Question 8

will masturbation affect ellaone's effectiveness?

Accepted Answer

No: Normal men, women, boys, and girls masturbate (it's universal). It isn't harmful, as the body goes through similar effects during regular sex with a partner (but too much of anything may become a problem). Masturbation does not alter the effects of ellaOne or ella; and does not stunt height, cause hair loss or gray hair, make you weak, create heart problems, cause acne, lower testosterone, etc...

Question 9

can taking ellaone emergency pill cause cancer? or kick start it off. thanks

Accepted Answer

No: I'm sorry someone told you something to give you this unrealistic fear. People who need to use emergency contraception are already in a difficult situation, and "scare" accounts -- perhaps from ideologues who are opposed in principle to birth control -- do a disservice to others. Make the right choice and be glad you have the opportunity.

Question 10

is it safe to conceive a month after taking ellaone, in the next cycle after taking it?

Accepted Answer

: Make certain that your "next period" is on time, as some bleeding after possible pregnancy is possible and may be outside the uterus (ectopic), so a HCG serum test if negative will exclude the possibility of pregnancy.
