Took Nordette Pills After Unprotected Sex. Will It Be Effective? Chances Of Getting Pregnant?
Hi, my boyfriend and I did the deed on August 29 around 1pm. I took 4pills of nordette at 11:05 August 31 (46 hrs after the deed) and will take another 4pills 12 hours after? Will it still be effective.
The reason why I took ECP is because we did the deed 8hours before the 7th day of my regular pills which is althea and its too weeks after my menstrual period. Am i safe from being pregnant?

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M.Forum.
Emergency contraception treatment necessitates the intake of two tablets .
The FIRST tablet must be taken as soon as possible, preferably within 12 HOURS , after the unprotected intercourse & no longer than within 72 hours ( 3 days) after the intercourse.
As time passes after intercourse , chances of conception become more so now you can judge yourself.
Still don't worry get home pregnancy test after 7 days of date of period ( late).
So deal according to situation.
Good luck.
