Patient's question:
Doctor: Hello! I had my period on the 16th of this month and it ended on the 23rd. We had sex on the 23rd and 26th. Is the 26th a safe day? Could I get pregnant without taking medication? I have taken emergency contraception a few times before and I'm afraid to take it anymore... Please help, what should I do?My period is usually delayed by about a week or ten days. Could I get pregnant? Is the 26th a safe day? Follow-up question: But it's been 24 hours since now. What should I do? Should I take emergency contraception again? Could I really get pregnant if I don't?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: One week before and after menstruation is generally considered a safe period, but it is not absolutely safe and there is still a possibility of pregnancy. It is recommended to take contraceptive measures. Multiple use of emergency contraception pills may lead to menstrual disorders. Please consider carefully. Using the safe period for contraception is not absolutely safe, so women may also experience unintended pregnancy. If a woman discovers she is pregnant, she should undergo an abortion surgery as soon as possible to ensure minimal damage to the mother's body. It is very important to choose a safe and reliable regular hospital for the surgery.
