Does Nordette Help In Preventing Pregnancy?

Hi. Would like to ask you regarding the effectiveness of nordette as ECP. We had an unprotected intercourse last Dec 1 around 5pm, 8hrs after, 1 took the 1st dose of nordette - 4 white pills all at the same time. 9hrs after (should be 12hrs after as 2nd dose) i again took 4 white pills all at the same time for second dose. Will it be as effective knowing that i took the 2nd dose 3hrs in advance. Hoping for your fast response thank you.

Hello dear
I understand your concern
You have taken correct dose of nordetted
It may help in prevent the pregnancy in around 75-80%
But it may have some failure rate.
So if your period will delay by more than 10-12 days go for urine pregnancy tests and or blood HCG test to confirm the pregnancy.
If you will be pregnant then you can still terminate intrauterine pregnancy by abortion pill under the advise of 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
Dr. Sagar
