What are the effects of emergency contraception on pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I took emergency contraception today. I want to know what are the effects of emergency contraception on pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

It is not recommended to take emergency contraception pills because they can have certain effects on the body. They may disrupt hormone levels, causing delayed menstruation in the next cycle. If you are trying to conceive, it is best to avoid these medications. If you become pregnant, taking these pills can have adverse effects on both the fetus and the pregnant woman. Consumption of these drugs during pregnancy may lead to abnormal fetal growth and development, and in severe cases, it can even result in fetal death or miscarriage.
