Not EXACTLY sure. If you are taking steriods for a sporting boost, I would check with your local DR. Remember Drs are by law not allowed to contact anyone without your consent. I would probably stop taking the pill if you dont want any problems. Steriods are tricky as they are not a regulated drug. Be very careful what your put into your body. You only get one body and its with you for 80yrs.

∙ 9y agoSteroids do not have a proven impact on Birth Control. However, similar to antibiotics, it is not said to be safe anymore. A woman on steroids should always use an additional protection, such as a condom, for at least 2 weeks. She should also continue taking the birth control like usual. Sometimes doctors say, because it is not proven, not to worry. But think of the consequences of being the one. Doctors are very precautious and strongly recommend not to trust birth control while being on any kind of steroid and antibiotic, it does impact the protection.

Steriods are not listed as effecting the morning after pill but if you have doubts then you should tell your doctor what you are taking and follow his advice.
