Emergency Contraception And Ectopic Pregnancy?
Posted: 11-27-05 01:29am

I'm just wondering about this is all...If a woman who suspects pregnancy takes the morning-after pill either too late, or takes it and it's not fully effective, does it increase her risk of ectopic pregnancy? Could the pills kill the embryo and cause it to fuse itself to the fallopian tube rather than be expelled from the body?

Yes it does increase chances of ectopic. I read on medical site online.

It does slightly, very slightly increase the chance for ectopic pregnancy. But it is so effective at preventing pregnancy... And there are many women who have not had ectopic pregnancies after using the map.
