Patient's question:
I had my last menstrual period on October 2nd, and we had intercourse on the 15th. However, I took emergency contraception within 48 hours. Tonight, I'm feeling chest tightness and a bit nauseous, like I want to vomit. Hello, could this be an ectopic pregnancy? UrgentDoctor's answer:
Absolutely not, it will come after a few more days. Usually, menstruation occurs within 6 days after taking birth control pills. If menstruation does not come, breastfeeding may be successful. The symptoms you mentioned should be caused by birth control pills. Just wait and see if menstruation comes. In the future, it's better not to take birth control pills and pay close attention to breastfeeding. Using condoms is much safer.Doctor's inquiry: When patients face the risks of ectopic pregnancy, we should promptly implement symptomatic treatment principles and avoid delaying medical consultation. If ectopic pregnancy is not treated effectively, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
