Can you still get pregnant after just taking birth control pills?

Patient's question:

I had sexual intercourse with my boyfriend last night and took emergency contraception. I'm worried about its effectiveness and want to consult if it's possible to get pregnant after just taking the pill?

Doctor's answer:

Taking emergency contraception, the chance of getting pregnant is very low. However, it does not rule out the possibility of an unexpected occurrence happening again. Moreover, taking emergency contraception can cause significant harm to a woman's body, easily leading to irregular menstruation and the recurrence of menstrual disorders. Therefore, it is not recommended to take birth control pills. If you do not want to have a child at the moment, you can consider using condoms for breastfeeding, which is safer and has no side effects.
