I ovulated acording to my app 3 days ago and I took the ellaone pill 2 hours after the accident and now I'm packing because it says it won't work after ovulation but then says it can be used at any time? I'm so stressed the chemist gave it to me and asked when I last had my period so surely she wouldn't have given it to me if its too late because I might have ovulated.
I apparently ovulated 3 days ago will I get pregnant if I took Ella one 2 hours after sex?

If you know for definite that you ovulated 3 days ago, then you're not going to get pregnant that long after ovulation. However, if you are relying on an app or website to tell you when you ovulate, rather than charting your fertility symptoms or using an ovulation test, then that may not be accurate, as apps & websites are just guides.
Ella is the only emergency contraceptive pill proven can prevent pregnancy during the 24 hours around ovulation. It is not guaranteed to work, though.
If you want an additional form of emergency contraception, you can have an IUD fitted by a doctor within 5 days/120 hours of the unprotected sex. That may stop any pregnancy implanting, & can be left in place for longer-term contraception.
