    Contraceptive failure and ECP
    I took Nordette as an ECP at approxiamtely 21 hrs of sex with contraceptive failure (29th day of my cylce). My cycle usually ranges from 28 days as shortest and 34 days as longest. It's my 32nd day now (3rd day since I took Nordette) and I still don't have my period. Could I be pregnant?

    Nordette Official FDA information, side effects and uses.

    The official FDA web site,
    This lists all of the side effects and possible issues using this drug, I hope you read the instructions on the package.

    I can not say I found anywhere on the official drug web site or on the FDA web site where they recommend using this as a morning after pill.

    But some other web sites do show taking 4 pills then another four pills

    Nordette
    Take 4 light-orange pills within 120 hours after unprotected sex and 4 more light-orange pills 12 hours later. Each dose contains 0.6 mg of levonorgestrel and 120 µg of ethinyl estradiol.


    Is this how you did it, took 8 pills total ?

    But it is not 100 percent effective, so to answer your question, yes you could still be pregnant
