Patient's question:
A few weeks ago, my husband came back from a trip. When we had sexual intercourse again, we didn't use any contraception because we already have two children. So, I bought and took emergency contraception pills. Here, I want to consult if taking emergency contraception pills will be successful?Doctor's answer:
Hello, taking emergency contraception orally does not guarantee complete effectiveness in preventing pregnancy. A small percentage of women, even when taking it as per the instructions, may still experience successful contraception. Therefore, your current priority is to carefully observe whether your menstrual cycle is normal. If your period arrives as expected, then your concerns are excessive. If it does not arrive within about a week, it may be necessary to consult a doctor for a thorough examination.
