Can you get pregnant after taking emergency contraception?

Patient's question:

The day before yesterday, I had sex with my boyfriend, and he came inside. I'm worried about getting pregnant, so I bought emergency contraception pills. Will taking emergency contraception pills cause pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, under normal circumstances, will oral contraceptives cause pregnancy? The success rate of oral contraceptives for breastfeeding can reach over 96%. Generally, the shorter the time after intercourse within 72 hours, the higher the success rate of breastfeeding. After taking emergency oral contraceptives, it is recommended to avoid spicy and irritating foods, and maintain a light diet. Eat more vegetables and fruits, digestible vitamins. This can increase the side effects of oral contraceptives.
