Should I Be Concerned About Pregnancy Even After Taking Logynon?

I had unprotected sex and only had logynon BC... so I took 3 of the pills as an EC. Since then I have been going through the symptoms of a pre-menstruation.... tender breast, back pain... but 2weeks later no period... What shld I do? Should I be concerned about being pregnant?

Hello dear
I understand your concern
You took 3 pill of logynon after sex as a emergency contraceptive pill.
But it is not correct dose.
Ideally 4 pill should be taken as early as possible with in 72 hours and another 4 pill after 12 hours to prevent pregnancy effectively.
If you had sex during fertile phase of period then there is high chance of pregnancy.
Your absence period could be due to pregnancy, hormonal imbalance.
I would suggest to go for urine pregnancy test and or blood HCG test to confirm pregnancy by consulting gynecologist.
Avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water and do regular exercise
Hope this may help you

Contact further if follow up needed
Best regards
