Hi
I am really panicked as I took Ella one and levonelle in the same cycle and then read you should never do this. I am on rigevidon(combined pill) and followed the instructions to use a back up method for 7 days after. I took rigevidon for 2 weeks after the emergency pills and then had my withdrawal bleed will I be protected still .

Hey
Already posted something but reads a bit unclear.
I took Ella one after contraceptive failure. I then 5 days later began taking rigevidon. A week i panicked and took levonelle for no reason. I carried on as usual with rigevidon as advised and didn't have any sex untill after my withdrawal bleed. Technically I took a full 21 days worth of rigevidon then has a bleed, then had sex at the end of bleed. Am I protected or will levonelle have effected my pill also will taking Ella one the week before but in a different cycle has effected it.
