Patient's question:
My last menstrual period was on the 10th, and I took levonorgestrel tablets. On the 20th, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and found that my ovarian corpus luteum had ruptured. I received intravenous fluids and medication at the hospital. There was a risk of miscarriage. If the baby is saved, can the baby still be kept?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you conceived after taking emergency contraception pills during your menstrual cycle. It is recommended that you consult your primary physician to determine if you need a pregnancy preservation treatment. Emergency contraception pills generally contain a high dose of progesterone, and the amount of hormones taken in one use is equivalent to the content in a regular short-term oral contraceptive pill taken for 8 days. Emergency contraception pills are progesterone-based medications. Although they should not be taken during pregnancy, their side effects are relatively minor, and the likelihood of causing fetal malformations is low.
