Is oral levonorgestrel emergency contraception safe during pregnancy?
• Although oral levonorgestrel emergency contraception is not indicated for a woman with a known or suspected pregnancy, there is no known harm to the woman, the course of her pregnancy, or the fetus if it is used [FFPRHC, 2006]. • Repeated use of oral levonorgestrel emergency contraception will not induce abortion if the woman is already pregnant [FFPRHC, 2006b].
