Can you get pregnant if you take birth control pills after having sex?

Patient's question:

I have had an abortion 25 days ago, but my period has not come yet. Last night, I had sex with my husband, and I was worried about getting pregnant again. After having sex, I immediately took a birth control pill. I would like to consult about whether it is possible to get pregnant 25 days after an abortion and taking a birth control pill after having sex.

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Generally, the ovary recovers its menopausal function 22 days after a miscarriage. If you have intercourse 25 days after a miscarriage, there is a possibility of pregnancy. If you take emergency contraception within 72 hours after intercourse, the chance of pregnancy is very low. However, you should not have intercourse within one month after a miscarriage, as the endometrium is damaged and needs time to heal. Intercourse too soon may lead to gynecological inflammation. It is recommended to pay close attention and observe carefully. If you experience vaginal discomfort, abnormal discharge, or lower abdominal pain, you should visit the gynecology department for a check-up. Wishing you good health!
