How long after taking emergency contraception can you get pregnant?

Patient's question:

I took an emergency contraceptive pill last week. How long after taking one emergency contraceptive pill can you get pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

This emergency contraceptive pill contains some hormones, and if pregnancy occurs too early, it may have a certain adverse effect on the fetus. Of course, this doesn't necessarily affect sex—whether it will have an impact is uncertain. However, if you want to get pregnant, from the perspective of eugenics, it is personally recommended that you wait at least three months after stopping the medication before trying to conceive to avoid any adverse effects on the fetus due to residual medication.
