What should I do if I get pregnant while taking birth control pills?

Patient's question:

What should I do if my period is irregular after taking emergency contraception? On November 2, 14 years ago, my period was irregular, and I stopped breastfeeding. On November 28, at night, a roommate had unprotected sex with the condom leaking outside. On November 29 at 8:30 AM, I took emergency contraception measures. On December 5, I stopped taking emergency contraception on November 11. Now it's January 8, and I have some menstruation. How is it related to taking emergency contraception?

Doctor's answer:

Your current situation should be considered. The side effects of birth control pills can easily cause menstrual disorders, but they usually naturally and completely recover after three cycles. Based on your current situation, for safety, I recommend not relying on birth control pills in the future. If you're not confident, you can get checked and then have the medication adjusted. Saving a little time won't achieve the desired effect. I suggest that in the future, your husband use a condom.
