Can you still keep the child if you get pregnant from emergency contraception?

Patient's question:

In mid-May, I took emergency contraception once. My next period was supposed to come at the end of May, but it didn't. In mid-June, due to improper contraceptive measures, I took emergency contraception again. Up to now, my period has still not arrived. Yesterday, the pregnancy test result showed that I am pregnant. Can I keep this child (if there is any mistake, I cannot harm the child's future)? Have you ever taken emergency contraception twice and become pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

You can first have an ultrasound to check how far along the baby is. Was it conceived in May or June? If it has been two months, it proves the baby was conceived in May. Since you have taken two rounds of birth control pills, it is not recommended to carry this pregnancy to term. If it is only one month old, it means it was conceived in June. Taking one round of birth control pills has little impact, and this baby can be carried to term. At the same time, you can carefully monitor the situation and have regular prenatal check-ups.
