Emergency Contraceptive

Hi, doctors can you help me pls?? I used 4pcs of Nordette (Levonorgestrel 0.15 mg + ethinyl estradiol 30 ug) within 65 hours of unprotected sex, and another 4 pcs of Nordette (Levonorgestrel 0.15 mg + ethinyl estradiol 30 ug) after 12 hours of the 1st dose. Is this effective? This is my first time to used this. I will never try another unprotected sex in my life ever except for my future husband... pls help me i m 19 yr old. we dont have morning after pill or emergency contraceptive here in the philippines, our government banned it. So i used Nordette (Levonorgestrel 0.15 mg + ethinyl estradiol 30 ug) as my emergency contraceptive. Help me pls..
