How can you get pregnant while taking birth control pills?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I took birth control pills next month, and this month I had a thorough check-up and found I was pregnant. Hello, how is it possible to get pregnant while taking birth control pills?

Doctor's answer:

If you are referring to taking emergency contraception last month, not having had sexual activity afterward, but still becoming pregnant, it could be considered a successful breastfeeding outcome. The effectiveness of emergency contraception in breastfeeding is very high, around 97-98%. However, there are always exceptions. Children conceived after taking oral emergency contraception may have a higher risk of birth defects or developmental issues, so it is recommended that you consider undergoing an abortion.
