Birth control as emergency contraceptive

2018-06-30 04:57:35
I had unprotected sex during my ovulation, we used condom but we didn't know it broke. after an hour we bought birth control pills and take 4 pills to act as emergency contraception. I took 4 pills every 12 hours for 3 days. and now I stopped. Does this work to prevent getting pregnant?

Yes it will work but dose is very high you have used.I donot what will be consequences means you will get period on time or not.Wait till next cycle and do pregnancy test on 25 th day of period by Bhcg.It is confirmatory test and reliable also.
