Hi. Me and my boyfriend had sex but the condom broke which made him ejaculate inside me. i took nordette the next morning at 11am and another 4 pills on 11pm. From the first dose, i experienced headache and tiredness. On the second dose, i didnt vomit. I just felt headache, sore throat and tireness. Is that okay? Will i be pregnant? On what day will i see withdrawal bleeding? Thankyou so much.

Hi,

Nordette contains Levonorgesterol and Ethinyl estradiol as its composition. These are synthetic analogues of the natural hormones in the body that regulate the menstrual cycle. Estrogen and progesterone are the two hormones secreted in the body that controls the phases of Menstrual cycle. Nordette is used as an oral contraceptive pill to avoid pregnancy. This drug controls pregnancy by inhibiting the ovulation and release of egg, preventing the uterine endometrial development which accommodate the fertilized egg and changing the consistency of cervical mucus thereby preventing sperm motility.

Side effects of the drug are nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, headache, dizziness, breast tenderness, spotting, etc. Regurgitation also causes sore throat. Fever along with sore throat indicates infective etiology. It should be managed with appropriate medication. Withdrawal bleeding is seen after 3 days of stopping the oral contraceptives. Visit the gynecologist for further details and management.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
