A member asked:

I have unprotected sex 16to17 hours ago, condom breaks during our intercourse, . can i take nordette (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) as an an emergency pill...?"

You could....: It will take a lot of pills and likely make you very nauseated. Your better bet is to go to a pharmacy and buy plan b. No rx is necessary, but you may need to ask the pharmacist.
