How long after taking emergency contraception can you get pregnant?

Patient's question:

I have been married to my husband for over a year, and we wanted to enjoy our couple's world, so we haven't had children yet. Usually, when we have sex, we use condoms or take birth control pills. Once, my husband was in a hurry and didn't take any precautions. Later, I took emergency contraception. How long after taking emergency contraception can I get pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Once you have had sexual intercourse and taken emergency contraception, you can start preparing for pregnancy the following month after taking the medication. After one month of stopping the medication, it will no longer affect pregnancy, and you can begin preparing for pregnancy. If you already have a plan to conceive, you should not use contraception during sexual activity. Pay attention to the fact that it is easier to get pregnant before and after menopause. Regulate your physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to a weakened immune system.
