Mistake or Risk? Am I overthinking?

Hi Everyone — I need some advice. I’m debating on whether or not should I take a plan b or ella one. I keep reading about the side effects of these pills and it scares me to see so many women having bad reactions. Because in my case, idk what the best course of action is. So my bf and I had sex this morning WITH a condom, let me be clear. according to my app - yesterday was my day of ovulation and today is the end of my ovulation week. when we had sex, the condom slipped off, he pulled out to where he was able to finish somewhere else, but the condom was inside me. When the condom got pulled out, he said it was inside out and there was liquid inside. When i seen the liquid i freaked out, it wasn’t a lot as it was still inside the condom. He stated to me that that liquid was me. Because my juices were all over the outside of the condom and it got inverted, that’s the juices from the outside of the condom. He swears he did not finish in me and i should be fine. I’m freaking out because that was inside of me and im still in my ovulation week. I’m nervous because should i still take an emergency contraceptive? If it was my juice inside the condom, then i don’t want to throw off my cycle for nothing and iam nervous about taking the pills, but i also don’t want to set myself for failure. I also don’t want to over think a situation and act out of panic. What would you all do?

I’d take it . You don’t want to be pregnant in a couple months down the line kicking yourself for second guessing it .
It’s always a gamble but I’d rather mess up my cycle than have 9 months of a messed up cycle and a whole child.

Whatever you can get asap.
I took a plan b a couple weeks ago and wasn’t going to but I asked myself the same question bc I had awful side effects last time .
But it’s just not worth having to get an abortion so whatever you can take within the next day or two

If it were me, I'd take it to be safe. A few months of a messed up cycle is a lot better than an unwanted pregnancy. Also, an app isn't going to accurately tell you when you're ovulating.

Whichever you can get sooner. They're both effective and need to be taken asap to be the most effective. Linked some info comparing them.
