Patient's question:
Took two birth control pills, but my period is almost 10 days late. I took a pregnancy test at home with a test strip and it showed positive. I want to ask if this child can be kept? Does taking birth control pills affect the fetus? No treatment.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, a 10-day delayed period with a positive pregnancy test result first suggests pregnancy. It is recommended to go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination for a definitive diagnosis. Sometimes pregnancy test kits can also be inaccurate. Pregnancy after taking birth control pills usually results in an unhealthy child, so it is advisable for you to weigh the pros and cons and decide whether or not to keep the child. In addition to treatment, it is important to maintain a positive mood in daily life, as a good mood is very helpful for recovery.
