If I take an emergency contraceptive pill when I am unsure about a possible pregnancy, what problems could arise?
Taking an emergency contraceptive pill when you are unsure about pregnancy is generally safe, but it can cause temporary side effects like nausea, headache, dizziness, breast tenderness, or changes in your next period (early, late, heavier, or lighter). If your period is delayed by more than a week, take a pregnancy test and consult a doctor.
