Yes. There are both short-term and long-term side effects to taking the Morning After Pill.
Short-term side effects may include:
1. Nausea and vomiting
2. Irregular and unpredictable menstrual periods
3. Breast tenderness
4. Blood clots
Long-term side effects may include:
1. Ectopic pregnancy (when the fertilized egg implants in the fallopian tube)
2. Infertility
Infertility can also be caused by certain STIs. It is important to remember that
the Morning After Pill (MAP) does not protect you from any sexually transmitted
infections (STIs).
3. While there are no long-term studies to show whether women will be permanently damage by
the Morning After Pill, women who take the MAP do put themselves at risk for such diseases
as cancer from these chemicals being given in such high doses.
