Hi, thanks for using healthcaremagic

The pill and all medications are tested in the lab to determine the best dose and the side effects that occur at that dose.
If higher than required doses are used then there is an increased risk of side effects.

The pill is very very effective at preventing pregnancy when used once daily at the approximate same time. It should not be used twice daily because unfortunately you would be increasing your risk of short term and long term side effects.
Because you use more than should be used the pack would finish early. The increased dose does not mean increased protection but increased side effect risk.

You would need a pregnancy to determine if you are pregnant. These detect HCG hormone and can pick it up 11 to 14 days after conception.

I hope this helps
