Patient's question:
The other day, I had sex with my boyfriend, but he forgot to wear a condom, which resulted in me finding out today that I'm pregnant. However, I took birth control pills two days ago, so why didn't it take effect? We are both in the midst of our career advancements, so we haven't been ready to become parents yet. Could you please ask the doctor why the birth control pill didn't work after I took it two days ago?Doctor's answer:
I have reviewed the situation you described. This time, the birth control pill you took did not have the effect of inhibiting lactation. Emergency contraception pills are generally taken within 72 hours after sexual intercourse. You should not eat or drink anything within two hours before or after taking the pill. If you experienced nausea or vomiting while taking the medication, or if you took other drugs simultaneously, it may reduce the effectiveness of the pill, making it unable to achieve the purpose of inhibiting lactation.
