Is it okay to take nordette again? I just took nordette as ecp last march 28. A day after I had unprotected sex. 4 pills in the first dose and another 4 after 12 hrs. I had withdrawal bleeding after 8 days, April 5. We had unprotected sex again yesterday, April 13, he used withdrawal method 4 times but I still want to be sure. Can I take Nordette as ECP again?

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
There should be at-least two months gap between the usage of emergency pills.
Repeated usage can lead to menstrual irregularity and other related problems.

If you are having no other option, you can use them.
But after that try to use some regular contraceptive method to avoid these problems.

Take care.
