When it comes to emergency contraceptives like the morning after pill are there any apparent side effects?
You aren’t supposed to use the morning after pill that often – it is called EMERGENCY contraception for a reason. Net doctor says this about Levonelle – the most common type available… “This medicine should only be used as an emergency measure. It is not recommended for repeated use, as it is possible that it can disrupt your menstrual cycle. This medicine will not always prevent a pregnancy. If you do become pregnant after taking this medicine there is a possibility that the pregnancy will be ectopic (ie occuring in the fallopian tubes rather than the womb). For this reason, you should consult your doctor if you experience any sudden or abnormal abdominal pain after taking this medicine, and if your next period is shorter or lighter than your normal period. Emergency contraception does not protect you from sexually transmitted infections.” Go on the pill and use condoms – this stuff is for one off emergencies not repeated use. Duh.
