Already pregnant before taking the morning after pill will it cause a miscarriage?

The morning-after pill, also known as emergency contraception, is a form of birth control that can help prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex. It is most effective when taken within 72 hours (3 days) of unprotected sex, but it can still be effective if taken up to 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected sex.

The morning-after pill works by preventing or delaying ovulation, which is the release of an egg from the ovary. It also thickens the mucus in the cervix, which can make it more difficult for sperm to reach the egg.

The morning-after pill is not an abortifacient, which means that it will not cause a miscarriage if you are already pregnant. However, if you are already pregnant, the morning-after pill may not be effective in preventing a pregnancy from continuing.

If you are concerned that you may be pregnant, it is important to take a pregnancy test to confirm your status. If you are pregnant, you should talk to your doctor about your options.
