Will I get pregnant after taking birth control pills after my period?

Patient's question:

A day ago. Had sex with my current boyfriend when we went out, and it was the first day of my period. My boyfriend was disobedient anded deep inside. Took emergency contraception on the third day. Still a bit worried. Usually, does taking emergency contraception after a period lead to pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Three days after cohabitation, if you took emergency contraception, it is generally unlikely to result in pregnancy because the success rate of emergency contraception is quite high. Additionally, the time of cohabitation was the first day after your menstruation had just ended, which is also a safe period. It is usually unlikely to experience menopause at this time. Therefore, there is a double safeguard, making the probability of pregnancy extremely low. So, you can rest assured. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
