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 still hasn't arrived. Yesterday, the pregnancy test result showed I'm pregnant. Can I keep this child (if there's any mistake, I can't harm the child's future)?Have you ever taken emergency contraception twice and become pregnant? Can you keep the child?
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 took 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 irregular prenatal check-ups.
