Hallow Dear,
It seems, you had conceived before you took the emergency contraceptive pill. In fact they are very effective and you should not have conceived after these pills. Most of these pills contain levonorgetrel hormone. The comprehensive reviews provide strong evidence that exposure to sex hormones [both combination hormonal products and levonorgestrel-alone pills] in early pregnancy does not have a teratogenic effect. Hence there is no necessity for you to abort this pregnancy.
Hope this helps you.
