Just wanted to know, is it safe to take the morning after pills even if you're not sure wether you're pregnant or not?

Dr. Bryan Kurtz answered

No: If you think you are already pregnant, then don't take the medicine without checking a test first. It is meant to be used within 72 hours of exposure. If you are already pregnant, then the medicine won't help.
