Patient's question:
I and my husband don't want children now. Do you think it's okay to take birth control pills three days after coitus?Doctor's answer:
Hello, emergency contraception needs to be taken within 72 hours after intercourse. Since it has been three days since you had intercourse, taking emergency contraception now should not be effective. Wait and see, it doesn't necessarily mean you will get pregnant. If your period is delayed for a week and hasn't arrived, you can use a pregnancy test.Suggestion: If you really are pregnant and don't plan to keep the baby, you can choose to have an abortion.
