Patient's question:
Last night was not my ovulation period. My husband came back from a trip, and we had sex without taking any precautions. I took an emergency contraceptive pill right away, and later in the middle of the night, my husband wanted it again, so I took another one. Here I ask the doctor if taking two emergency contraceptive pills could result in pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
In your case, since you took emergency contraception pills on time after both sexual encounters, the likelihood of pregnancy is very low. This is because the success rate of emergency contraception for breastfeeding is extremely high, reaching over 98%. Since you took the pills on schedule, you would definitely not get pregnant. There's no need to worry too much. If you still have concerns, you can have a thorough check-up after two weeks or more.
