Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

We cannot say if this form of emergency birth control is effective - measured doses of hormones in emergency pills are up to 95% effective when taken within 24 hours. I don't know if the amount of regular pills you took adds up to the same dosage.
Nobody can tell you if you are safe or not, not even a doctor, but if the dosage is the same as an emergency pill, your odds of pregnancy are very low.
Best,
Susan
