Nordette Overdose and Pregnancy

Hi!

I recently had sexual intercourse with my boyfriend (with condom on) but just to make sure I used Nordette as an ecp. My boyfriend told me to take only 4 pills first then after 12 hours, the next 4 pills. I overdosed by taking that instruction twice, but not every 12 hours, it's like this:

Friday - Had sex
Sunday - Took pills (1st set, night)
Monday - Took pills (2nd set, after 12 hours, morning)
Tuesday - Skipped morning, took 3rd set night time
Wednesday (today) - Took 4th set, morning

So there's a bit of a gap. I do feel kind of bloated and nauseous (not vomiting yet) but I read that I shouldn't vomit because the pills might not take effect. My questions are:

1. Since I overdosed, will I be alright? I don't feel anything for now as of this writing but I worry a bit
2. If I had the menstrual bleeding (due to the overdose, since I read that that's a possible overdose side effect) will I be safe from pregnancy?
3. From my story on our sexual intercourse (condom on, took ecp, etc.) what are the chances that I might get pregnant? Am I safe from being pregnant?
