Do I need follow-up care after using emergency contraception?

Typically, you will not need any follow-up care. If your period is more than one week late after taking emergency contraception, often referred to as “the morning-after pill“, you should take a pregnancy test. Remember, common pregnancy tests (using urine samples) are not accurate in the first 10 days of pregnancy, which is why we recommend waiting until you are at least a week late.
