A member asked:
How does the progesterone only emergency contraceptive pill abort you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It does not: Emergency contraceptive pills work by preventing or delaying ovulation (release of the egg from the ovary). It is unlikely to cause abortion or miscarriage if you are already pregnant at the time.
