How long should you wait after taking emergency contraception before trying to have a child?

Patient's question:

After taking emergency contraception, how long should I wait before trying to get pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Have you taken emergency contraception medication? Since this medication has a relatively high dosage for breastfeeding, it is generally recommended from an eugenic perspective to wait at least one year before considering having a child to avoid potential interference with embryonic growth and development due to the drug's decomposition and metabolism remaining in the body. It is advised that you wait for about a year before considering having a child, and you can start taking folic acid tablets three months before conception.
