How Long Does The Morning After Pill Remain In The System?
how long does the morning after pill stay in the blood for? I was meant to have a surgery tomorrow but I postponed it because of potential blood clotting. If I took the pill on Saturday and it is now Thursday, how long will the pill be in my system for?

Hi,
Although called as emergency contraceptive,the hormone can be present in the body for up to 5 to 6 days. So the drug can be effective in many women for about 5 to 6 days which is almost the same time as the lifespan of sperm inside the body.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
