Q: Condom Broke, Took 4 Birthcontrol Pills As Ec. Can I Be?

Hi,

i am not currently on the pill and 7 days ago the condom broke and every thing leaked everywhere in and over me, out of sheer panic I grabbed some of my old birth conrol pills (still within used by date) and took 2, then took another 2, 12 hours later. I don’t know that they are as strong as the normal emergency contraception you get from a doctor. The brand is norimin it contains:
norethisterone 500mcg
ethinyloestradiol 35mcg

does anyone know if this would have been strong enough?

My periods are due to start today, no sign yet. I have been feeling some of the usual pregnancy symptoms, but they could also be attributed to pms.

I don’t mind if I am pregnant, my fiancé and I would love to start a family; it’s just a little sooner than first planned.

Any feedback would be great.

I think the birth control hormone has to be in you for like a week (some certain amount of time) to become effective and taking a birth control pill isn't the same thing as taking the morning after pill.
Good luck!
