A member asked:

Can i be pregnant even if i use emergency contraception?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No form of contraception is 100% perfect. There are many variables that can alter the effectiveness of hormonal contraception including your weight and any other medications you are taking. Emergency contraception decreases your chances of pregnancy if taken according to directions, but does not always work as intended.
