Patient's question:
From last August to this August, I have taken six types of emergency contraception pills. Before I was told it would take six months to have a child. But now it's the 14th day of my period, and I haven't come yet. I don't know if I have. If I take so many pills, will I become infertile? Also, if I get pregnant, will the child want it? Will this medication lead to unhealthy children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to have a thorough examination of blood HCG at the hospital to determine if you are pregnant. If you are, from the perspective of eugenics, birth control pills contain a large amount of hormones and have certain teratogenic effects, which may lead to fetal sexual ambiguity. However, nothing is absolute. It is advised not to have a child, but if you insist, it is essential to undergo strict prenatal examinations. At 14-19 weeks of pregnancy, undergo a Down syndrome screening, and at 22-26 weeks, have a 4D color Doppler ultrasound for prenatal exclusion. When necessary, at 16-20 weeks, undergo amniocentesis and cord blood testing, which can detect the fetal growth and development in the uterus.
