Will Emergency Contraceptive Pills Be Effective 72 Hours After Unprotected Sex?

Hi i am 24, and i had unprotected sex with my bf 2nd day of my period( march 2). I all knew before that having sex during mesntruation is safe but later the day after we had intercourse i learned from my friend that it is not. We are not ready yet to have a baby, thats why we research on emergency pills because plan b pills are not available in the philippines, we read about nordetter, so i bought it, but after i took the first 4 pills (march 3, 10:00pm) its only then i knew that the pills have expired 12-2013 and that day was march 3, so we got really paranoid, so the next day march 4, i went to a OB and she gave me another set of nordette to be taken, but she told me to take 3 pills instead of 4, i take the 3 pills 1:30 pm and had another 3 1:30 Am... well im really nervous and paranoid if il get pregnant or not.. please help me... is the 3 pills effective?

Dear Madam,

Well nothing can be said it will just depend whether they will act or not .but generally it is not feasible to get pregnant when you are menstruating so you need not worry about pregnancy .
