After taking emergency contraception, I want to vomit blood and have a headache. Is it pregnancy?

Patient's question:

A 16-year-old girl who took emergency contraception three days ago feels like vomiting when eating, has some broken skin, and has a headache. Is she pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, feeling nauseous and experiencing some bleeding after taking emergency contraception pills and eating may be a side effect of the medication. Even if you are pregnant now, these symptoms may not reappear. The bleeding is a withdrawal bleeding caused by the medication. It is recommended that you first wait and see, and when engaging in sexual activity, take reliable contraceptive measures such as condoms to prevent unintended pregnancy. Emergency contraception pills have significant side effects and should not be taken frequently.
