Patient's question:
Hello, last time you gave my girlfriend emergency contraception pills, but she got pregnant after taking them. How is that possible?Doctor's answer:
Pregnancy after taking emergency contraception orally. It could be due to the quality of the medication, or it is related to the timing of oral administration, the method of taking it, and the number of times it is taken. During the normal ovulation period, emergency contraception can be taken after sexual intercourse to prevent pregnancy. Taking emergency contraception within 72 hours of sexual intercourse is effective. Emergency contraception is best taken on an empty stomach, and it should not be taken in large quantities in a short period of time. These factors can interfere with the effectiveness of the medication and lead to pregnancy.
