Had Unprotected Sex, On Gynera. Will Taking A Month's Worth Of Gynera Ethinylestradiol Work As Emergency Contraception?

I want to take an emergeny contraceptive pill to take after unprotected sex, and was prescribed a month's worth of gynera combined contraceptive pills. I understand that the morning after pill usually comes in the form of 2 pills only, not a normal combined contraceptive. If I take a month's worth of Gynera ethinylestradiol/gestodene, will this work as EMERGENCY contraception?

Hi there ~

I understand your concern. I also hope that you are not concerned about the type of contraceptive method that you are using since you have already taken an emergency contraceptive method. To allay your anxiety regarding a pregnancy, I recommend that you take the urine pregnancy test if you feel anxiety about potential pregnancy as soon as you find out you missed your next menstrual period. I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
