Patient's question:
I just got married to my husband, and now everyone's work is very busy. We don't want to have children so early. We had sex during the ovulation period this month. Can the contraceptive pill be effective within 12 hours after taking it? If the contraception is successful, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Just got married, and because work is quite busy, I don't want children for now. Having sex during the ovulation period and taking emergency contraception pills also has contraceptive effects. If pregnancy occurs after successfully taking birth control pills, it is not recommended to carry the pregnancy to term. Because the main component of birth control pills is hormones, which can affect fetal growth and development to a certain extent, and may even lead to fetal malformation. Therefore, if pregnancy occurs, it is necessary to seriously consider whether to keep the child.
