Patient's question:
I have been married to my husband for over a year. A month ago, I took emergency contraception because I didn't want a child at that time and there was some financial pressure. Now I am pregnant. Can I have the child after taking the contraceptive pill? Will long-term (half a month) contraception before pregnancy affect the fetus?Doctor's answer:
This situation generally will not have any impact, because birth control pills are only a type of artificial hormone. They temporarily adjust a woman's endocrine system and will never have any long-term effects. Long-term oral intake of birth control pills can lead to endocrine disorders in women. In severe cases, endocrine disorders may cause infertility. Since you are already pregnant, there is no need to worry too much. During pregnancy, it is important to avoid emotional tension.
