Patient's question:
After cohabiting with my boyfriend, he ejaculated twice, but I only took the contraceptive pill the second time. I'm not sure if I might get pregnant and want to know if taking emergency contraception would result in pregnancy.Doctor's answer:
It should be absolutely impossible to get pregnant, emergency contraception is a corrective type of contraceptive medication that can take effect within 72 hours after sexual intercourse. It is suitable for women who do not want to give birth but have had unprotected sex and need to take supplementary medication. Emergency contraception contains a high amount of estrogen, and one dose is equivalent to 8 days of regular short-term oral contraceptives. It causes significant harm to a woman's body. Emergency contraception may lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, menstrual cycle disorders, nausea, dizziness, and other symptoms. If taken for a long time, it can cause amenorrhea in severe cases, or even infertility. It is recommended not to take more than three times a year and no more than twice in half a month. Rest more and pay attention to keeping warm.
