A member asked:
Can i take emergency after pill while in the first pack of contraceptive pills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but….: You can, but do you really need to? You should not need "emergency contraception" if you are using oral contraceptive pills correctly. However, in the first pack of use, the effectiveness depends on where you are in your cycle when you started.
