Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose:I took the first pill of emergency contraception at noon yesterday. I should have taken the second pill at midnight yesterday, but I forgot. I only took the second pill at 8:30 this morning.
My last menstrual period was on December 1st, and the sexual intercourse occurred on December 25th. My husband and I thought it should be fine, but we still want to be cautious. Could you please ask the expert if pregnancy is possible?
Follow-up question: Has no one answered my question yet? Please help, I am very urgent. Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
Hello: Yes, medication is only effective for sexual activity before taking it. Generally, emergency contraception pills can provide contraceptive effects for sexual activity within 72 hours. The chances of getting pregnant after taking them are very low. In fact, under normal circumstances, practicing any form of contraception can have some impact on women. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. Contraceptive patients should pay attention to self-care, such as dietary regulation and maintaining warmth to avoid catching a cold.
