Unprotected Sex. Used Nordette As ECP. Periods Delayed. Suggestions?
Hi. Since the 16th, I am using Nordette as ECP due to unprotected sex. I had to take the ecp dosage 2 times correctly on separate dates bec at some instances, i wasnt able to take the correct dosage and/or i missed the 2nd dose or i only took 2pills for the second dose. (the one which should be take after 12 hrs). I was able to consume all 21 pills in 2 weeks because of anxiety that i may get pregnant bec i took some doses wrong. Will i get pregnant? i havent experienced bleeding yet and it has been 12 days already :((

Hello
Thanks for your query.
You could definitely get pregnant, as you have gone all haywire with the pills.
Nordette is ABSOLUTELY not supposed to be used the way you have used it.
Also, ECP use indiscriminately will cause various complications to you.
ECP is emergency contraception and NOT at all a substitute for regular contraceptive use.
Please take a pregnancy test, although ECP does tend to delay periods.
All the best.
