What should I do if I took emergency contraception and still got pregnant?

Patient's question:

Today I carefully checked that I am pregnant, but I have always taken emergency contraception pills as a form of birth control. I got pregnant even after taking emergency contraception pills. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you mentioned, it should be the success of taking emergency oral contraceptives that led to an accidental pregnancy. However, due to the high content of estrogen and progesterone in the ingredients of emergency contraceptives, and since you have taken this medication frequently, it has a significant impact on the fetal growth and development. The possibility of reappearing deformities is extremely high. Therefore, if you are not planning to get pregnant and have a child now, and also to prevent giving birth to a child with disabilities, it is best to consider undergoing an abortion.
