Is it effective to take birth control pills a few days after menstruation?

Patient's question:

Just a few days after my period, I had sex and took a birth control pill that same night. Forty days later, my period didn't arrive, so I bought a breast-feeding stick from a pharmacy. But then I found out it was positive. I'm feeling really upset because I took the birth control pill. Could this affect the fetus? Should I keep it?

Doctor's answer:

After the menstrual period, we had sexual intercourse a few days later. On the same day, I took a birth control pill, but the result was still pregnancy. It turns out that the birth control pill you used at that time did not have the effect of breastfeeding. If you get pregnant while taking birth control pills, it may have an impact on the growth and development of the fetus. It may lead to poor embryonic growth and development, or it may lead to miscarriage and other situations. Generally, it is not recommended to keep the pregnancy. Adjust your physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to a decline in resistance.
