Patient's question:
Yesterday, when I had sex with my boyfriend, he said he didn't want to use a condom because they hadn't seen each other for a long time. I agreed, but I wasn't sure if he would come inside. However, he didn't manage to do so and ended up coming inside me. Later, I checked the dates and realized it was exactly during my fertile period. I want to take the pill, but how long is the effect of this birth control pill?Doctor's answer:
Generally, taking emergency contraception orally within 72 hours can help achieve some effects of breastfeeding. The closer it is to the time of intercourse, the better the effects of breastfeeding will be. If there are concerns about pregnancy, you can have a blood test at the hospital 8 days after intercourse. The blood test is the fastest and most accurate method. Alternatively, you can use a pregnancy test kit 14 days after intercourse. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
