“Birth control as emergency contraceptive?”
Can I use my birth control as emergency contraceptive? I take Larissa which is 0.1mg/.02mg combination pill. I took 5 pills 6 hours ago. Do I need to take another dose 12 hours later?

I think you have taken an appropriate dose for that.

I am very concerned if you take too much estrogen it could cause a higher chance of a fatal blood clot. Please consult in an office appt asap with an OB-GYN.
