Emergency contraception, like the pill you took (often referred to as the "morning-after pill" or "i-pill"), is designed to help prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. It's most effective when taken as soon as possible after the incident, ideally within 72 hours (3 days), but it appears you took it within a relatively short timeframe. Emergency contraception works by primarily preventing or delaying ovulation, which is the release of an egg from the ovary. If you took the pill within the recommended timeframe, it may reduce the chances of pregnancy. However, it's important to note that emergency contraception is not 100% effective, and there's still a possibility of pregnancy, especially if you were in or near your fertile window. Regarding your concern about the 17th being the last day of your estimated ovulation period, it's worth noting that sperm can survive inside the female reproductive tract for several days, and the fertile window can extend beyond the actual days of ovulation. If you're worried about the possibility of pregnancy, you might want to consider taking a pregnancy test around the time of your expected period or a few days after it's missed. Regards
