Patient's question:
I'm a person who dislikes sex, but recently a series of problems have reappeared. On that day, I didn't take any measures. I want to ask if it's okay to take emergency contraception three days later? Is it effective to take emergency contraception at this time? I really want to knowDoctor's answer:
If you have sex again, taking emergency contraception three days later will not be effective. Emergency contraception is only suitable to be taken within 72 hours after the second sexual activity. The shorter the time between taking the medication and the second sexual activity, the better the contraceptive effect. In the current situation, the only option is to wait about ten days after sex to have a blood hCG test to check if you are pregnant.
