Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, my boyfriend and I had sex without using protection. I only found out afterward and took emergency contraception. I don't want to get pregnant so soon, and I'm a bit worried. I want to ask a doctor if having sex and then taking emergency contraception can still lead to pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is generally considered that you would never get pregnant. However, whether you will actually get pregnant or not cannot be certain, as emergency contraception pills also have a certain failure rate. Although this failure rate is not high, it cannot be completely ruled out as a possibility. You can test after half a month, so if there is an issue, it can be addressed accordingly. It is essential to take extra precautions to prevent pregnancy regularly.
