BIRTH CONTROL (CONTRACEPTION) COMMUNITY
Failed Morning after pill (ECP)

Failed Morning after pill (ECP)

I'v been married less than a year's time and have mostly used condoms as a means for contraceptive. Last month during my time of ovulation my husband and I had un-protected sex. We were travelling at that time and didnt have access to a morning after pill until 48hrs later. I took it precisely 36-40hrs after the intercourse.
However now I tested myself pregnant. I have taken urine tests (multiple) at home after a missed period & other symptoms and am scheduled to see a doctor in a day's time.
We are considering abortion- The main reason being our concern for medical defects in fetus. I have read quite a lot on the internet but havent been assured in any way that it WILL be a normal pregnancy.
Any one failed on a morning after pill before? Please share.

I too conceived on the morning after pill and the baby is perfect. I am currently 29 weeks and have had three ultrasounds. The Morning after pill is only a higher dose of hormones, so there shouldn't be any effects on the fetus if only taken once. Please reconsider abortion. I am a maternity RN just so you know my background.

Please whatever you do don't have an abortion unless that is what you want to do. YOU being the important word. Don't listen to your husband or anyone else. And nothing wrong can come out of it. my friend had her daughter while she was on the pill the whole time(as well as the morning after pill). She is happy and healthy and talking your ear off all the time at 11months.
