No: I'm sorry someone told you something to give you this unrealistic fear. People who need to use emergency contraception are already in a difficult situation, and "scare" accounts -- perhaps from ideologues who are opposed in principle to birth control -- do a disservice to others. Make the right choice and be glad you have the opportunity.

No: It has not been shown to cause cancer as long as it is taken as directed only as an emergency contraception and not on a regular basis. Hope this answers your question and helps
