Emergency contraceptive pills (a.k.a. ECPs, “morning after pills” or “day after pills”) do not appear to increase either the absolute risk of ectopic pregnancy or the chance that a pregnancy following ECP use will be ectopic. Available data suggest that ECPs do not increase the likelihood that a subsequent pregnancy will be ectopic.
