Abstract
- BACKGROUND: The standard regimen of the levonorgestrel-only pill (1.5 mg either in a single dose or in a dose of 0.75 mg twice, 12 h apart) administered orally for emergency contraception (EC) has been shown to have no effect on endometrial development and markers of endometrial receptivity. We aimed to explore whether repeated oral and single vaginal administration of levonorgestrel affect the endometrium and thus potentially increase the EC efficacy, compared with the standard regimen.
