Can you still get pregnant after having sex and taking birth control pills?

Patient's question:

I had sex and then ate Yuting within one hour. Is it still possible to get pregnant????

Doctor's answer:

Master the timing: Those using medication methods should take emergency contraception pills within 72 hours (the earlier, the better) after contraceptive failure or unprotected intercourse; those using intrauterine devices should have them placed within 5 days after intercourse.
Master the medication method: Taking emergency contraception pills after a meal or before bed can reduce side effects such as nausea and vomiting. If vomiting occurs within 2 hours of taking the pills, take the same dose again immediately and also take an anti-emetic medication. After taking emergency contraception pills, no further unprotected intercourse should occur during this menstrual cycle. If intercourse occurs again, use conventional contraception methods. If menstruation is delayed, seek medical attention for a pregnancy test to determine if emergency contraception failed.
