What is the reason for getting pregnant while taking birth control pills?

Patient's question:

After cohabiting with my boyfriend, I took birth control pills, but I still got pregnant. What could be the reason for getting pregnant even after taking birth control pills?

Doctor's answer:

The breastfeeding rate of emergency contraception pills only reaches 90% or more and cannot reach 100%. Emergency contraception pills are only used as a post-coital measure and should not be taken frequently. Excessive consumption may affect menstrual changes and may also lead to successful breastfeeding. If taken long-term, it is generally not recommended to preserve the pregnancy, as it may affect the health of offspring.
