Can Microgestin Be Used A Emergency Contraceptive?

Hello, I am 19 years old. I had unprotected sex about 36 hours ago but he did not finish at all, especially not inside of me. I am still worried about becoming pregnant, though. My period stopped a few hours before having sex. I have not been taking Microgestin, but I heard that if I take it now and continue taking it for a few days that it will work a small percentage less than the morning after pill. Is this true? Or is there some way to use the Microgestin as an emergency contraceptive? Also, how likely is it that I become pregnant?

Hello Welcome to Health Care Magic.
Don't worry much. Stay calm.
there are very less chances that you will get pregnant.pregnancy can not be predicted. you need to go for pregnancy test after you miss your periods. there is no chances of pregnancy if the flow of blood during period is normal in amount and duration. if only spotting is present then also you need to go for evaluation.
and taking pill after so much time is not making any sense. at least in your situation there are least chances.

Hope this information helps you.
Best wishes.
