Patient's question:
I had sexual intercourse with my boyfriend, and we took the post-coital pill afterward. However, we continued to have sex after taking it. Will this result in pregnancy?First follow-up question: My period just ended, and I took the emergency contraceptive pill.
Second follow-up question: I also took another emergency contraceptive pill after the second one.
Doctor's answer:
Hello! If vaginal bleeding occurs within one week of taking emergency contraception, it is considered withdrawal bleeding, indicating that the previous contraception was successful. However, it is still necessary to take proper contraceptive measures during future sexual activity. In fact, under normal circumstances, any form of contraception can have some impact on pregnancy. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. Contraceptive users should focus on self-care, such as maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
