Can you get pregnant if the ovulation test is negative the day after contraceptive failure?

Patient's question:

Still breastfeeding, haven't had her period yet. Today, successful breastfeeding during intercourse. Not sure if it's ovulation period, so I used a menopause test strip to check. Within half an hour, there was no second red line, and after more than an hour, there was a very faint red line. Please ask if it's possible to get pregnant on the day of contraceptive failure when the ovulation test strip is negative.

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Emergency contraception pills can be used during breastfeeding. The main ingredients are estrogen, which have minimal impact on the baby. It is essential to take proper contraceptive measures during breastfeeding. Around 6 weeks postpartum, the uterus will be fully recovered.
1. If you have sexual intercourse within 24 hours, you can use emergency contraception pills. If it is used after this time, it will be ineffective.
2. Regarding the high positive rate of the test strips you mentioned, I recommend visiting the nearest regular hospital for an early pregnancy test. When patients face gynecological and obstetric issues, we should actively adopt treatment measures and avoid hesitation in seeking medical attention. If gynecological and obstetric conditions do not improve with treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
