For Emergency Contraception "A mistake in my calculations meant we'd had sex the day of ovulation. I'm over 45, but to be on the safe side, I took Ella. A week later, cramps, mucus, and spotting. Then extreme tiredness, nausea, backache, and twinges in the ovary. They say it's not an abortion pill, but it depends on your definition of pregnancy. If you have already ovulated when you have sex, the sperm can fertilize the egg before you've taken the pill, and the fertilized egg can make its way to the womb. Ten days after I took Ella, I had a horrible period a week early with depression and severe cramps. The menstruation felt like my womb lining was being scratched out. I believe the pill flushed out a fertilized egg. Now my next period is coming, and it still feels raw inside."
