Patient's question:
I want to know how long after taking an emergency contraceptive pill can you get pregnant? I had sex last week and took a contraceptive pill, but now I want to have a child.Doctor's answer:
Generally, after taking emergency contraception once, you can get pregnant next month. The interference is not significant, but it is better to start taking folic acid earlier. It is recommended to wait three months after starting to take folic acid before getting pregnant, mainly to prevent neural tube defects in newborns. If you find that you are pregnant after taking emergency contraception this time, it is acceptable. Otherwise, you should have regular prenatal check-ups. If there are any issues, it is usually natural to have a miscarriage.
