Greetings. Thank you for your questions.

As stated previously, the duration of action of ellaone is up to 120 hours, 5 days. The ability for the medication to work beyond 5 days following sexual intercourse is unknown. Unfortunately, there is no other alternative that will prevent pregnancy after the period. Your partner is adviced to do a urine pregnancy test at least one to 2 weeks following a delay in menstruation.
