Can the ella one pill still work if poo within 7 and a half hours?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What you poop anytime today is what you consumed 2-3 days ago. The pill is absorbed in the first 3 hours in your upper digestive tract. If you took it in the proper time interval after sex, it will work as well it it can otherwise.
