How to use emergency contraception after unprotected sex

Patient's question:

I had my period on November 30th. I had unprotected sex on the evening of December 14th and in the morning of December 15th. I took one Yuting pill in the morning and one in the evening on December 15th. Since taking one pill only guarantees protection for one time, I took another pill in the evening of December 16th and another in the morning of December 17th. I want to ask if this method can prevent pregnancy? If not, what can I do? I saw online that there is a luteinizing hormone-induced menstruation method. I want to ask if I can go to the hospital now. Thank you. I am really in a hurry. First question supplement: Thank you. I am just worried. I have been taking the pills for these two days and have felt some endocrine disorders, and have been breaking out on my face.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! The sooner you take the medication within 72 hours of unprotected sex or contraceptive failure, the better the effectiveness in preventing pregnancy. Take 2 tablets of Yuting at once, or take the first tablet and then the second 12 hours later.
As you mentioned, the possibility of pregnancy is very, very small. The progesterone method is not suitable for your situation. Regardless, wait until after your menstrual cycle before making any decisions. It's overreacting... Don't be afraid.
