Hi everyone,

So sorry if this is the wrong thread to post on. I'm aware there will be so many people trying and this post might be like a huge slap on the face so I apologise.

My cycle varies between 24-32 days. My calendar says ovulation is due Monday (so, tomorrow). However I was having ewcm since about 4 days ago. Yesterday (Saturday 1st) I had sooooo much in the morning it was like slime factory down there (TMI). Husband and I DTD last night, condom split. That was about 11pm and I took EllaOne today around 12 noon. I'm a bit on the fence as to whether I would have ovulated already because of all the EWCM or not and it's hard to know with how varied the cycles can be. However I've just started with ovulation pains, quite sore and intense, in my ovary (5pm so 5 hours after Ella One). Is that possible to still ovulate after taking it? Given that EllaOne works immediately to delay ovulation (if it works). Just wondering if anyone else gets ovulation type pains after ovulation? Or whether maybe it EllaOne working and causing the bodily changes already.
I know I won't know now for 2 weeks, but I guess I'm just wondering if ovulation pains AFTER ovulation is common or not??

Thanks.

I'm the same, I took ellaone on Sunday and think I've ovulated since I went to speak to a pharmacist who was little help and also male. Did you have any luck? Also can I ask did you have any symptoms after ella one? I've got cramping but it's not really bad but not great either, im not due on till March so I'm very confused.

My GP told me that the morning after pill is very hit-and-miss. I was told if you want to prevent a pregnancy, 100% you need to go and get a coil fitted before implantation has a chance to take place.

States on Ella ones website it will not work if you have ovulated proir to taking and it cannot delay implanation. good luck x

I don't know if I have ovulated or not as I don't track mine, I don't have a reason to, so now I've got to sit it out and wait

Yes so I had ovulation pain that was sharp the same evening I took it. The next day I had awful period cramps! Then, for the week my boobs started to get so sore and big!! I was thinking oh noooo! When I have me period, I get no symptoms! Anyway, I actually came on my period 2 days early. So I did ovulate before I took Ella one, but it gave me crazy symptoms like pregnancy. For the whole almost two weeks I had sore boobs, bloating, cramps on and off. X

I still feel like I'm getting the symptoms from the ellaone, it made me so ill that first day, I am never taking it again,,ever. I'm still waiting for af to arrive, I thought I was due this week but turns out it's Monday. Ive had crazy symptoms too, although I've got a suspected uti right now. So that could be making it worse.
