How long after taking birth control pills can you get pregnant?

Patient's question:

After I had the best relationship with my husband, on the third day, my husband gave me birth control pills. How long after taking oral birth control pills can I get pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, you have taken emergency contraception orally. This medication is rapidly metabolized and does not accumulate in the body. Therefore, if you are planning to conceive, you can skip contraception measures during your next sexual activity. If you feel uneasy, you can take a menstrual cycle before trying to conceive, which is safer. During the preconception period, it is still recommended that both partners undergo necessary preconception tests. This is one of the most economical and safe methods to ensure the health of both the mother and child.
