Can the child be kept after eating emergency contraception pills during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

This month, my period was delayed, and after a thorough check, I found out I was pregnant. However, I took emergency contraception last month. Can the child be kept if I was pregnant while taking emergency contraception?

Doctor's answer:

If you take emergency contraception pills, and become pregnant despite successful contraception, it is generally not recommended to focus on early pregnancy. This is because the effectiveness of emergency contraception pills is to block the successful development of the blastocyst, which means blocking the combination of sperm and egg. In fact, this situation still has some impact on the normal development of the blastocyst. If you take emergency contraception pills and the contraception is successful, it is generally advised to terminate early pregnancy.
