Morning after pill (Levonelle) and breastfeeding

Hello,
Bit embarred about this. Last night had unprotected sex, but husband ejaculated in a condom. I’m exclusively breastfeeding my two month old baby.
Would you take the morning after pill (Levonelle)?

The breastfeeding network has a list of drugs that affect breastfeeding / which ones you can take. Have a look there. It’s run by pharmacists with an interest in breastfeeding.

I think having a coil fitted can stop pregnancy (hope that's right 😳)

If you're exclusively breastfeeding it's unlikely that you'd be ovulating at two months post partum. I personally wouldn't bother taking the morning after pill (but that's easy to say with the experience of hindsight, as it took 10-11 months for my periods to return with each of my breastfed babies).
