Patient's question:
That day, my husband and I had sex without a condom. Afterward, I took emergency contraception. But later, I found out I was pregnant. I'm wondering if getting pregnant after taking emergency contraception will affect the fetus?Doctor's answer:
Taking emergency contraception orally after sexual activity, now carefully checked for pregnancy, it has little interference on the fetus. If the medication works, pregnancy will never occur after taking emergency contraception orally. Now pregnancy still occurs after taking the medication, proving that the medication hasn't taken effect. Pregnancy will not interfere with the fetus even now. If the medication has an effect, the embryo may naturally abort. If the embryo grows and develops normally, it can be preserved, and follow-up tests can be conducted periodically later.
