I don't think it's wise to do this. The morning after pill is supposedly a double-dose of birth control, so I believe that would be the equivalent of taking two full-strength bcp's. As you are on lo, this may not work. Also... If you're on bcp's, why are you worrying about needing emergency contracpetion?
