Hello Anon

Thank you for writing!

You did overdose on P2 - you take them (preferably) 24 hours after sex and only the amount prescribed. Taking more will cause a great hormonal imbalance and stronger side effects. But this should not have long lasting effects, your cycle should get back to normal in the next 4-6 weeks. Since your partner also protected himself, there is no risk. A pregnancy test will be accurate 14 days after sex but pregnancy does not seem possible in your case.

Best,
Susan
