Condom is broken, taking birth control pills immediately before menstruation?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. If the condom is broken and I come to my period immediately, should I take birth control pills?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your delayed menstruation may be related to birth control pills. If your period is delayed by one week, you should take a urine pregnancy test to confirm whether it is a failure of emergency contraception. Emergency contraception pills should not be taken more than three times within a year. A pregnancy test can be done if your period is delayed by one week.
In fact, in general, practicing any form of contraception can cause some harm to the pregnant woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. Patients using contraception should take care of themselves, such as paying attention to keeping warm and avoiding cold exposure.
