Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Can I get pregnant?Duration of this illness: 3 months ago, I took emergency contraception after intercourse, but now I am pregnant. Can I continue the pregnancy?
Doctor's answer:
Three months ago, I took two emergency contraceptive pills. Now I am pregnant and can carry the pregnancy. Emergency contraceptive pills contain a high amount of hormones. If you are trying to conceive, do not take emergency contraceptive pills within three months, otherwise it may cause fetal malformation. Emergency contraceptive pills should only be used occasionally and cannot replace conventional contraception methods. It is best to minimize the frequency of taking emergency contraceptive pills. When taking emergency contraceptive pills, you can also take some vitamin C to reduce the side effects of emergency contraceptive pills.
