You need to always keep in mind prevention is before the act never after emergency contraceptive pills have a very high failure rate

You're right that higher body weight can lower how well a pill like I-pill works. Deciding to add a second emergency pill on your own isn't safe though, since timing and interactions matter.
Next Steps
Call a gynaecologist or visit urgent care today before deciding on Ella, since timing affects how well it works.
Health Tips
If your period doesn't come on time, take a home pregnancy test to check.
