Does taking birth control pills on the day of ovulation work?

Patient's question:

My time of cohabitation coincided with the ovulation day. Then, I took birth control pills immediately after cohabitation. Does taking birth control pills on the ovulation day work? Will it make my contraception successful?

Doctor's answer:

After having sex on the ovulation day, taking emergency contraception within 72 hours generally has a contraceptive effect. However, the effectiveness of birth control pills is not 100% to guarantee successful contraception. The earlier the birth control pill is taken, the better the contraceptive effect will be. The probability of childbirth for women having sex during the ovulation period is relatively high. Therefore, it is best for those who want to get pregnant to take contraceptive measures to increase the chances of pregnancy. The above is advice on this issue, and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you.
