What is the situation if you get pregnant after taking emergency contraception?

Patient's question:

I don't want to get pregnant, so I took birth control pills, but I got pregnant after taking emergency contraception pills. What's going on?

Doctor's answer:

This situation is considered because of successful contraception. Emergency contraception pills have a very high success rate in contraception, reaching over 98%, but it doesn't mean they are 100% effective. Sometimes, there may occasionally be cases where it is still successful. If you carefully check now and find that you are already pregnant, then taking emergency contraception pills, I personally recommend not preserving them. In addition to treatment, it is important to maintain a light diet and a good mood. Only a positive mindset and adequate sleep can help you recover quickly from the illness.
