I once took the morning after pill and still got pregnant. i ended up having a tubal pregnancy. could the pill have caused it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The morning-after pill would not cause an ectopic pregnancy. In fact, because the morning-after pill is a form of birth control, it ultimately reduces the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy because it prevents any pregnancy. However, no form of birth control is 100% effective, so it's still possible to become pregnant or have an ectopic pregnancy even with the morning-after pill.
