Patient's question:
A while ago, I was forced to have sex again with someone of the opposite sex. I was worried about getting pregnant and took birth control pills, but I still feel uneasy. Will I still get pregnant after taking birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, taking birth control pills can result in pregnancy, and all breastfeeding methods are not 100% effective. Clinically, it has been observed that women with intrauterine devices (IUDs) can still conceive, and those who take birth control pills can also successfully become pregnant—these possibilities all exist. Women of childbearing age only need to take one pill within 72 hours after successful breastfeeding or no contraceptive coitus, followed by another pill 12 hours later, to prevent unintended early pregnancy and achieve the purpose of safeguarding the physical and mental health of women of childbearing age.After taking birth control pills, if your period does not arrive on schedule, you can use a pregnancy test kit. If the test result shows you are not pregnant, there is no need to worry too much. After taking birth control pills, some people may experience absent or delayed menstruation. Paying attention to personal hygiene can help stabilize the current symptoms.
