I never heard of this before, it really does not make sense as if you had the pill you would of been taking it all along so you would not need to worry so much about that. Though you should always use a condom even with using the pill to be safe. There is a day after pill and i think you can go to the doctor and they will give you one. Yet none of these pills will protect you from STD's so if you have had unprotected sex especially with someone you do not know I would get tested. And if you are in the US call ask a nurse 1 (800) 888-5551 or (423) 952-3700 on the other if you are in Ontario call Tele Health 1-866-797-0000 if you are in another country I would guess see the doctor.
Good Luck

4 pills at once ASAP but not after 120 hours, 4 more at once EXACTLY 12 hours later. Set your alarm clock.
Prepare to be nauseated as hell. Eat gently and try to keep them down. If you like to chief, now is the time!

You have to take 4 pills at one time. Then wait and take 4 more pills at the same time. (4 pills = 1 emergency contraceptive)

4 all at once, 12 hours later 4 more all at once. And don't forget to go get tested now that you had unprotected sex. A baby isn't the worst thing you can get from sex.

If you are talking about the regular pill that you are ment to tak every day..... you would have to be stupid to take more than one pill a day... it does really bad damage... it will make your hormones unballanced and you will get very very emotional.. the safest bet is to go to your GP and get the morning after pill.....
Or just take the pill like your ment to

You might want to get professional (aka DR) help on this one. You'll get some good as well as outright wrong answers in this forum. Anyway, this link may prove to be useful.

I think you should go see a doctor or a clinic or even your nearest pharmacy
