Can you still keep the child if you get pregnant after taking emergency contraception?

Patient's question:

Last night, I was with my girlfriend. Although we didn't prepare anything in advance, we couldn't help but have sex again when we were together. However, I still felt a bit guilty on the third day. I don't want to get into trouble, so I'll buy emergency breast milk pills for her on the third day. What kind of help do you think she needs: Will she definitely not get pregnant after taking the emergency breast milk pills?

Doctor's answer:

1. Emergency breastfeeding is only a fire-fighting method, not a conventional form of contraception. It is important to correctly determine your preferred breastfeeding method, rather than relying on frequent use of emergency contraception pills.
2. Emergency contraception pills should be taken within 72 hours after sexual intercourse; failure rates are higher if taken before 72 hours.
3. Due to their high dosage, emergency contraception pills have more noticeable side effects than conventional birth control pills, such as changes in the menstrual cycle.
4. Overuse and frequent consumption of emergency contraception pills may harm the body. Repeatedly taking emergency contraception pills multiple times can lead to menstrual disorders.
