Are There Any Side Effects to Using the Morning After Pill?
Using emergency contraception has not been shown to cause any serious or long-term health problems.
However, they can sometimes have side effects such as:
- Abdominal Pain
- Headaches
- Irregular menstrual bleeding before your next period is due
- Feeling sick
- Feeling tired
If you notice any side effects after taking the morning after pill, including ones that are not listed above, then you should speak to your doctor or pharmacist as soon as possible.
For more information about reporting the side effects of medication, please see the MHRA's Yellow Card Scheme.
How Effective is the Morning After Pill?
A study presented in 2010 demonstrates that out of 1000 women who had unprotected sex within the last 24 hours, 23 out of the 1000 women would get pregnant if they all took Levonelle/levonorgestrel, and 9 out of the 1000 women would get pregnant if they took ellaOne (Glasier A et al. Lancet 2010; 375(9714): 555-62).
This means that ellaOne is the more effective morning after pill, as long as you take it as recommended by its manufacturers.
With all emergency contraception pills, it is important that it is taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex.
