EC: Although there are at least a dozen types of birth control pills that can be dosed as an emergency contraceptive, I can find no source that includes Loestrin among them. Perhaps someone else has a regimen, but I recommend getting Plan B or the like to ensure you get the maximum benefit.

Loestrin: (ethinyl estradiol & norethindrone acetate) would not be an effective choice for emergency contraception (https://www.drugs.com/cons/lo-loestrin-fe.html)
