I have recently found out I am pregnant , how ever I had taken the morning after pill bleed a few weeks later ( not overly heavy I might add) and also had a light bleed about a week ago, so I am totally :eek: by this as you can imagine, I am 5/6 weeks now but my main concern is will this pill (levronelle) have done any damage to my baby?? As I'm a worrying my head off now I really hope you can give me a honest answer

Many thanks

Even the morning after pill isn't 100% effective. This very same situation happened to a close friend a few months ago. She decided to have an abortion because she was so unsure of the possible effects that the medicine would have on the baby.

That's a very personal decision which only you can make but in her case, I understood her worry. Have you talked to a doctor to let them weigh in on what could or could not happen?

It's not likely that it would effect the baby... plenty of women continue with regular birth control pills for weeks into pregnancy not realising that they are already pregnant. Have you had a scan to determine the location of baby? The use of emergency contraceptive pills can raise the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy and that should be ruled out.

As said, its doubtfull that it would hurt the baby.


Remember to get prenatal care hon :) and congrats on the baby, even if it was unwanted. A baby is a blessing :D no matter what the situation and good luck

My friend took the morning after pill.she has a healthy 8 yearold.did you throw up after taking the pill

You need to check with your doctor. Of course the morning after pill is not 100 percent

Weirdly enough no there was no vomiting etc... and I also had a period a few weeks later.. or what I thought was a period thinking back it was to light really! I am off to doctors tues to be booked in and yes your right this is my little blessing it has come through all the odds to still be here!! :) thanks for all your help and kind words xxxxx
