Patient's question:
Last week my period had already ended, and I went to meet my boyfriend. In a hurry, I didn't take any precautions with my boyfriend. Early the next morning, I quickly took one emergency contraceptive pill. My friend comforted me, saying that after taking the pill, everything would be fine. But now I'm still a bit worried if I could still get pregnant after taking the pill?Doctor's answer:
Generally, when taking birth control pills, the effectiveness rate is over 98%, so it's not absolutely effective. After taking birth control pills, it's important to carefully observe the menstrual cycle. If your period is delayed by a week, it's necessary to pay close attention and undergo thorough examination to rule out any possibility of pregnancy. However, birth control pills can also affect the menstrual cycle, so it's best to be cautious. Finally, I wish you a speedy recovery.
