Is Nordette Effective During Ovulation?

Hi there, I d like to inquire if Nordette is effective during Ovulation days? Last day of her period was March 15, we had intercourse March 29. One at 2 am and another at 10:30 am. I came inside her on both times. I made her take Nordette (4 pills) at 12 noon of March 29 and 12 hours after, she took 2nd dose (4pills) at exactly 12 midnight. Will Nordette still be effective even if we had two rounds?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
nordette (levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol) Tablets, 0.15mg/0.03mg, so giving 4 tab is only 0.12 mgm, the "ëmergency contraception" dosage is 1.5 mgm... so, there is a fair chance of a failure. Nevertheless, the dosage u have taken may cause some amount of harmonal disturbance and it may work ! The issue is to take the right medicine, which is emergency contraception available as Ella, Plan B,
