Hi,
Thanks for your question.
Although Nordette is not meant to be used for emergency contraception you used it in a sufficient amount. These hormonal pills may effect the timing of your menstrual bleeding & are not effective in 100% of cases. So, you may or may not be pregnant. You can relieve your doubts by doing a home pregnancy test. If this is negative you may just wait & see for some time.
If you came out to be pregnant you may discuss the option of medical termination of pregnancy with your local gynaecologist.
Regards.
