Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, I took emergency contraception without knowing that I was already pregnant. Today, the test showed that the baby is almost a month old. It is said that it may cause fetal deformities. The emergency contraception I took is Levonorgestrel. I wonder if I can still keep the baby?Doctor's answer:
In the case where emergency contraception was taken instead of emergency contraceptive pills, without being aware of being pregnant, which ultimately led to pregnancy. Generally, a fertilized egg is insensitive to stimuli for the first fourteen days. If it encounters a stimulating factor, it will stop developing or result in a miscarriage in women. Therefore, if today's ultrasound examination shows that the gestational sac is developing well, it proves that it has not been affected by the stimulating factor, and you can focus on the next steps and prepare for relevant examinations according to the time period.
