Condom Broke, Took 4 Birthcontrol Pills As Ec. Can I Be? Posted: 05-20-05 07:39am
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!
