Can you get pregnant after taking emergency contraception?

Patient's question:

I and my husband are both very young and don't want children yet. Then, my husband doesn't want to use condoms, so I have to take birth control pills. Then, I don't know how long it takes to get pregnant after taking emergency contraception? How long does it last? Is there any harm to the body?

Doctor's answer:

You need to wait at least one or two months after taking birth control pills before you can get pregnant, and it's best to wait about a year before trying to conceive. If you do it too soon, the drug may not be fully metabolized, which could interfere with the health of the fetus. Besides, birth control pills only have a breastfeeding effect on sexual activity before you start taking them. If you have sex after starting the medication, it won't have any effect. Therefore, you should still use contraception when you have sex. The above information can be used as a reference.
