Nordette is a combination oral contraceptive and is used as an emergency contraceptive. It works principally by preventing ovulation. It can cause changes in the cervical mucus which increase the difficulty of sperm entry into the uterus and the endometrium to reduce the likelihood of implantation.

Anonymous, since you took the pills after ovulation occurred, you can hope that pregnancy was prevented by changes in your cervical mucus and endometrium.
Vaginal bleeding, either as your normal monthly period or breakthrough bleeding, will confirm that you did not become pregnant. If you have no bleeding within three weeks of taking the pills, take a home pregnancy test. For the most accurate result, test in the morning by using the first urine of the day.
