Hi
Four days of Nordette pill may not provide complete protection. Pregnancy tests are accurate when done 10 days after missing the period or at least one to two weeks after you had sex. If you are pregnant, your body needs time to develop detectable levels of HCG. You can take a blood hcg test inorder to reduce your anxiety which is more accurate.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
