Patient's question:
Yesterday was a university class reunion. Everyone had good relationships during college, and it had been several years since we last met, so we were all a bit excited. On the nth day, everyone drank quite a bit of alcohol, and I got drunk. Unexpectedly, I ended up in bed with a boy I disliked during university. Does taking birth control pills after drinking beer still work?Doctor's answer:
Consuming birth control pills after drinking alcohol is also effective. You need to take emergency contraception within 72 hours after sexual activity to achieve some post-coital contraceptive effect. If it's less than 72 hours, it won't be effective. If you don't want to get pregnant, you should take emergency contraception. After taking the pill, you can observe your menstrual cycle. If your period comes after taking the pill, it means the possibility of accidental pregnancy can be completely ruled out.
