Patient's question:
Yesterday, I had sex with my husband, but since we didn't use contraception, the next day I took a birth control pill. However, I'm still very worried and don't know if taking the pill the second day after sex could result in pregnancy.Doctor's answer:
After cohabitation, the chance of getting pregnant by taking birth control pills on the second day is relatively small because most emergency birth control pills are usually effective if taken within 72 hours. However, birth control pills contain certain hormones, which can cause significant interference with the body and may lead to a disruption in a woman's endocrine system, thereby affecting the function of menopause and causing further issues. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
