Patient's question:
I'm still in college. Last night, after taking emergency contraception, I had sex again with my boyfriend, and he ejaculated inside me. I'm very worried and upset about the possibility of getting pregnant. Hello doctor, will I get pregnant if I have sex again after taking emergency contraception?Doctor's answer:
You first need to have a correct understanding of emergency contraception pills. The so-called emergency contraception pills are also known as post-coital contraception pills. This means that after taking the oral medication, you need to take another dose before having sex again to achieve contraceptive effects. Otherwise, there is still a possibility of accidental pregnancy. Currently, as long as it hasn't been less than 72 hours, you can take another dose orally. However, it's important to pay attention not to take it lightly in the future.
