Can you get pregnant while on birth control?

Patient's question:

Last month, after having sex with my husband, I took birth control pills because I was afraid of getting pregnant. But can I get pregnant after taking birth control pills?

Doctor's answer:

In the case of pregnancy after taking birth control medication, it may affect the normal growth and development of the child, so safety should be noted. If not prepared, pregnancy due to accidents is still not recommended to be kept. However, after pregnancy, it is necessary to actively estimate the time. Generally, it is better to have an abortion around the 7th week, but there is a risk of residual tissue or intrauterine infection that needs to be prevented.
