Patient's question:
Last night, I didn't use protection with my boyfriend. Today, I went to buy emergency contraception to take. Today, my boyfriend still wants to have sex and says he has already taken the pill, so there's no need for protection. I want to ask how long should I wait after taking emergency contraception before I can get pregnant? Is it true that I won't get pregnant within one or two days of taking the pill?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I am very happy to help you solve your problem. A normal obstetric guideline has a clear rule that taking emergency contraception during the period of accidental pregnancy or mistakenly taking it after pregnancy will never increase the risk of fetal malformation. Therefore, after stopping emergency contraception, you can prepare to conceive at any time after your next menstrual period, without any interference to the fetus's malformation. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
