Patient's question:
Doctor, I took emergency contraception and got pregnant. Can I keep the baby? My last menstrual period was on October 20th, with a cycle of 30 days. I took emergency contraception and pain reliever ibuprofen. On the 28th day, progesterone was 60 and hCG was over 700. On the 31st day, progesterone was 70 and hCG was 2600.Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception pills are progesterone-based and have minimal interference with fetal growth and development. If you conceive after taking emergency contraception pills, you can decide whether to carry the pregnancy to term. However, if you do, it is important to attend prenatal check-ups on schedule and cooperate with your doctor for thorough screening of fetal abnormalities.Additionally, ibuprofen is a pain reliever that pregnant women should avoid. This medication is strictly prohibited for use during the early stages of pregnancy, especially the first three months. I am unaware of how many pills you have taken, but if you have taken them multiple times, from the perspective of prenatal health, you should seriously consider the situation.
