Is A Second Dose Of EllaOne Advisable After Unprotected Intercourse?

default
Posted on Thu, 23 Mar 2017
Question: A condom failed on me and my partner on Sunday night so I took the ellaone on Monday but last night (tuesday) we had sex with a condom and I saw there was a hole in it this morning again. Am I able to take ellaone again in such a short space of time? I know I must get back on the pill, I definitely will asap following this experience. I am at the end of my cycle if that has any meaning. Thanks and sorry.

Brief Answer:
No need to take another ellaone for this time...

Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,

I understand your concern.

If the condom failed on Sunday night, and you took ellaone on Monday, and if yesterday (Tuesday) had sex again and noted a hole in the condom today (Wednesday), then, no need to take ellaone. You are protected.

Furthermore, we do not know if the hole was during the sexual intercourse or after he put it off.
Again, you are protected, there is no need to take another ellaone for this time.

Try to be more attentive and find other ways of contraception next time while enjoying sex.

All the best my dear.
