Patient's question:
Just a few days after my period, I had sex and took a birth control pill that same night. Forty days later, my expected period didn't arrive, so I bought a breast-feeding stick from a pharmacy. To my surprise, it came back positive. I feel extremely upset because I took a birth control pill at the time. Could this situation have any adverse effects on the fetus? Should I keep it?Doctor's answer:
After the menstrual period, sexual intercourse occurred within a few days. On the same day, oral contraceptives were taken, but the result was still pregnancy. It has been proven that the contraceptive you used at that time did not have the effect of breastfeeding. If pregnancy occurs while taking contraceptives, it may have an impact on the fetal growth and development. It may lead to poor embryonic growth and development, or even miscarriage. Generally, it is not recommended to keep the pregnancy. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to a weakened immune system.
