What should I do if I get pregnant after emergency contraception fails?

Patient's question:

Irregular menstrual cycle, have taken birth control pills, menstrual cycle is unstable, not sure if pregnant, took post-coital emergency contraception which failed, now pregnant, what should I do?

Doctor's answer:

1、Emergency contraception pills have a very small dosage and are easily metabolized within 2-3 days after ingestion. They do not cause significant interference with the body.
2、The fertilized egg is not sensitive to various teratogenic factors in the first 2 weeks after fertilization, which is also why it can be preserved.
3、If you want to have a child, you can monitor the fetal growth and development through irregular prenatal check-ups to identify any abnormalities in a timely manner. Irregular prenatal check-ups can often detect whether the fetus has any abnormalities. There are many treatment methods in obstetrics and gynecology, but since the symptoms of patients differ, the treatment methods used will also vary. Therefore, it is necessary to diagnose the patient as soon as possible so that the correct treatment can be administered.
