Will I get pregnant if I take emergency contraception and have sex again?

Patient's question:

My girlfriend took emergency contraception, but had sex again within 10 hours (withdrawal method). She used withdrawal method both before and after taking the pill. Will she get pregnant? If yes, what is the probability? If no, what is the probability?
Medical history and treatment effectiveness: None
What kind of help is needed: Please, doctors, tell me the exact answer. My girlfriend and I are very anxious! Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

From a narrative perspective, the likelihood of pregnancy is unlikely, so there is no need to be overly anxious. Advice: However, it is not worth proving that contraceptive measures must be taken during subsequent sexual activity, and it is advisable to use condoms. Do not resort to the withdrawal method for intercourse, as this is a less safe sexual practice. This is because a small amount of semen may be released during sexual arousal, which could potentially lead to pregnancy.
