Patient's question:
Last night when I had sex with my boyfriend, we didn't take any contraceptive measures. This morning, after waking up, I felt a bit upset about the possibility of pregnancy and took emergency contraception. I wanted to reach out to you to ask if taking emergency contraception on the third day is effective? I'm still quite worried.Doctor's answer:
Hello, taking birth control pills orally after unprotected sex can still reduce the chances of pregnancy, so you should relax and not feel too much pressure. However, be mindful of the frequency of sexual activity, and in the future, try to use condoms during sex. If your period is about to arrive on schedule, it is generally safe. Pay attention to eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, follow medical advice to enhance nutrition, and monitor your appetite.
