Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, I forgot to use protection while being intimate with my boyfriend. Now I'm considering taking oral contraceptives to correct this. I'm not sure if it's possible to take the pill if I might be pregnant.Doctor's answer:
Hello, oral emergency contraception is mainly used for post-coital use. Emergency contraception needs to be taken within 72 hours after the event. If sperm and eggs have not combined within 72 hours after the event, it is absolutely impossible to get pregnant. Taking emergency contraception is to prevent sperm from combining with eggs, thereby achieving the effect of breastfeeding. If no contraceptive measures are taken during sexual activity, emergency contraception can be taken.
