Brief Answer:
Will be fine after menses

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
Most likely it is all due to excessive proliferation of endometrium caused by all the pills taken just Ina month so you will feel relief only after you will menstruate now.
There seems negligible risk of pregnancy because it takes a minimum of 3 weeks for ovulation to return after abortion.
So just wait for your periods and from the very first day of your periods start oral pills for proper control of cycle, good endometrial health and of course a regular and reliable contraception.
It is not a good practice to take emergency pill every time you indulge in sexual activity as it will make your ovulation pattern and menstruation very erratic.
Take care.

Answered by Dr. Manisha Jain (6 hours later)
Brief Answer:
After 16 days

Detailed Answer:
In my opinion there are no chances of pregnancy in your case but to be double sure do a urine pregnancy test after 16 days of your last unprotected intercourse.
If negative then just wait for your periods and avoid unprotected intercourse or emergency pill in this time period.

Ive had unprotected sex with micro gynon 4 now and i will take for tomorow. I will refrain from sex but i am worried that i may get pregnant again. Does the mycro gynon have same effect as morning after pill. Aslo does the pill become less effective if it is taken more than once

Brief Answer:
Avoid it in future

Detailed Answer:
It is not as effective as emergency pill but can give same benefits.
Its repeated use should be avoided as much as possible because it can derange the hormonal balance and thus can make menstruation and ovulation pattern very erratic.
So for the time being you can rely on it and then shift to a regular method of contraception.
