Infant On Breastfeeds And Formula. Will Intake Of Morning After Pill Affect The Infant?

Hi my son is 8 weeks old and I am breastfeeding although we are topping up with formula. On Friday my husband and I got a little carried away and had unprotected sex. I have been having discomfort in the area on my left ovary which started Saturday evening. Should I take the morning after pill and will this affect my 8 week old as I m breastfeeding?
