Hello
Thanks for your query.
Nordette is not the ideal method for emergency contraception.
However, if you had to take it, then you have taken the correct dose and at correct interval.
However, this method is not 100 % effective in preventing a pregnancy.
You would know if you are pregnant only if you miss a period.
However, emergency contraceptives are notorious for interfering with the normal menstrual cycle.
They can prepone or postpone your cycles by a week or more.
Moreover, you have taken them twice the previous month, which is not at all advisable.
Please have protected sex in future, and take a pregnancy test if you skip your period.
Take care.
