HELP NUMBNESS ON LEG side effect
URGENT HELP!
Hi! My girlfriend and I had unprotected sex and took nordette as an ECP(4 pills first then another 4 pills after 12 hrs. She got her period after 5 days or so. But after a week we had another unprotected sex and because she was too scared she took nordette again as an ECP(4 pills again then another 4 after 12 hours) which I said wasn't necessary. My concern now is that she's feeling mild numbness on her left leg for a week now and she thinks she's having another period again twice in one month. We also looked on the web that numbness is one of the SEVERE side effects of nordette. What should we do?

Large doses of hormones multiple times a month are not healthy. It is also not a very effective form of birth control.
Go to an emergency room or doctor.
Stop having unprotected sex.
Take a pregnancy test in a few weeks.
If the test is negative, have her get on birth control or use condoms. What you are currently doing is not smart or safe.

Hi - If you believe your girlfriend needs urgent medical attention, seek medical attention immediately. Please go to your local emergency department, call your local emergency number, or contact your doctor. We hope she is feeling better soon!
PS: Nordette is a regular birth control pill but can be used as an emergency contraception if taken by 4pills then 4 pills after a 12 hour period.
My girlfriend doesn't use birth control pills and this is the only time she used it. And she did it twice this month only.

Thank you, it's just mild numbness. Do you think its already serious? What kind of doctor should we go to?
