Is it possible to get pregnant by taking emergency contraception during the safe period?

Patient's question:

I had sex with my boyfriend last night. I want to know if I could get pregnant if I took emergency contraception during my safe period?

Doctor's answer:

The safe period generally has a low chance of conception. If you are taking emergency contraception, it provides double protection, usually indicating a low likelihood of pregnancy. Emergency contraception is generally not recommended for frequent oral use. It is primarily used as a backup measure after successful breastfeeding. It is advised to adopt proper contraceptive methods to prevent accidental pregnancy and potential harm to the body. If menstruation is delayed again, it is first necessary to speculate whether pregnancy may have occurred.
