Can you get pregnant after taking birth control pills after cohabitation?

Patient's question:

On November 28th, I had sex with my boyfriend without using any protection. In the morning, I took a birth control pill, but I vomited it up. In the afternoon, I started my period, so I didn't take another pill. During that time, I also had a heavy fall. But so far this month, my period hasn't come. Could I be pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, emergency contraception pills are usually taken within 72 hours after intercourse. If you took the pill within the effective time, you should not get pregnant. Taking the pill can affect the regularity of your menstrual cycle, and the extent of the impact varies from person to person. It is recommended that you pay attention to your menstrual cycle and take a pregnancy test if it is delayed for a long time.
