Does taking emergency contraception pills cause pregnancy?

Patient's question:

The doctor didn't use safety measures during sexual activity before, and I got pregnant. However, I took emergency contraception immediately afterward. But I'm still a bit worried. Could you please tell me if taking emergency contraception can still lead to pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, oral contraceptives are absolutely ineffective in preventing pregnancy, but birth control pills only provide effective breastfeeding, not guaranteed breastfeeding. There is also a possibility of successful breastfeeding, which may lead to pregnancy. You can use a pregnancy test kit seven days after your period to check. During sexual activity, it is essential to take contraceptive measures. It is best to use a condom for breastfeeding, as it does not cause any harm to the body.
