Hard to follow: I think you are saying that you did not take your birth control correctly and then used a method of emergency contraception by taking 5 pills twice. That method decreases the risk of unplanned pregnancy. You will need to check a pregnancy test in about 2 weeks. Consider using an IUD or an easier method of contraception to avoid these scares.
