A member asked:
I had the ellaone ulipristal acetate tablet yesterday after having unprotected sex 4 days ago?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
An effective choice: Ella is 95% effective at preventing pregnancy when taken within 120 hours (5 days) of intercourse. Ella works by preventing ovulation, even during the time in your cycle when you’re most fertile. That’s important because sperm can live for five days in a woman’s reproductive tract. Most other emergency contraceptives are only approved for three days. It should only be used in an emergency.
