Patient's question:
I had sex with my boyfriend during the 11th lunar month and took emergency contraception afterward. Is there a possibility of getting pregnant? In theory, taking the pill should prevent pregnancy. However, this month, my period is a week late, and the pregnancy test hasn't shown any results yet.Doctor's answer:
After taking emergency contraception orally after sexual activity, it is generally unlikely to result in an unexpected pregnancy, so you should pay more attention to rest. It is recommended to observe how the abdominal pain develops after taking the medication. If a pregnancy test is negative during the period of delayed menstruation, it is likely just menstrual irregularity related to the medication. It is suggested to consider taking traditional Chinese medicine for promoting blood circulation and regulating menstruation if necessary to see if it improves the condition.
