Patient's question:
I had my period from the 26th of last month to January 1st. Last night (the 2nd), I had sex with my boyfriend without using any protection. Should I take a post-coital contraceptive pill? I'm really worried about getting pregnant.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the safe period is not absolutely safe. There is still a possibility of pregnancy if you have sexual intercourse without taking contraceptive measures or if contraception fails. If you do not have a plan to conceive in the near future, it is recommended to take emergency contraception within 72 hours after sexual intercourse. However, it is advised not to frequently use emergency contraception, as it has many side effects, which may lead to irregular menstruation, endocrine disorders, and other issues!
