Hello,
I have gone through the query and understood your concern. Nordette is often used as an emergency contraception and is shown to be effective in the dose as mentioned. You can see withdrawal bleeding 3-7 days after use of the medication. This is suggestive of the efficacy of the drug and protection from pregnancy. Your next natural period may get delayed by a week. Please see your health care provider for further help if you become overdue by ten days. You may need to get a sonogram of the pelvis and a blood test for pregnancy at that stage to help plan further management. Hope this helps.
