A member asked:

Is there a correlation between taking a morning after pill and ectopic pregnancy? can emergency contraceptives cause ectopic pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

More as a prevention: question rather than a causation issue. If a pregnancy starts with a morning after pill, it may have a higher risk of ectopic, due to this method of contraception, being more likely to prevent an intrauterine implantation. May have less effect on an ectopic implantation.
