I decided to stop my pills August 19 Thursday evening 10pm was supposed to be the time. I am taking my pills but I missed it. Friday morning me and my boyfriend had sex after sex i took my pills just to be safe but then Saturday I missed it again so on Sunday afternoon I decided to take all the pills I missed and Tuesday I took Ella One which is already the 5th day. Would the Ella One still work?
Will the emergency pill Ella One still work on 5th day?

Ella is said to have a chance of working if you take it within 120 hours/5 days, but is more likely to be effective the sooner you take it.
You will need to use extra barrier protection for the rest of your cycle, as Ella can make your birth control pills ineffective.

Do I still need to continue my contraceptive pills, even if I’ve already took Ella One today?
