What should I do if I get pregnant after taking emergency contraception?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Took emergency contraception on October 15th, had a period on October 29th. Please ask if pregnancy in November would affect the baby, and whether it is safe to have this baby. Had medication-induced abortion in September without any other adverse effects.

Doctor's answer:

There is no evidence to support that frequent use of emergency contraception has any long-term adverse effects. If you haven't taken any medications that are explicitly contraindicated during pregnancy, don't make the decision to terminate the pregnancy hastily. Let nature take its course and wait to see what happens. Because even if you worry about potential issues, they can be ruled out later through medical screening tests. Modern obstetric testing techniques are quite advanced, capable of monitoring fetal development through methods such as ultrasound, amniocentesis, and various other tests. If any problems with fetal development are detected, it will still be possible to terminate the pregnancy in time. Don't a life .
