Patient's question:
I had sex with my boyfriend for the first time. He only broke my hymen and then pulled out. Then, within 72 hours, I took 2 Yuting pills. My period this month was delayed by 4 days. Could I be pregnant? Thank you, urgent!Doctor's answer:
If you take emergency contraception pills, it is usually completely effective in preventing pregnancy. Moreover, it is generally avoided to take them twice in one cycle, as the second dose is more likely to be ineffective and may cause more side effects. Since you are taking them for the first time, the impact is not significant. It is recommended that you do not take them long-term.Yuting () is an emergency contraception medication that contains a high level of estrogen. The dosage for one emergency contraceptive pill is equivalent to the amount of a conventional short-term oral contraceptive pill taken for 8 days. Taking too much can lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, menstrual cycle disorders, ovarian suppression, and other phenomena that disrupt the normal menstrual cycle, causing endocrine disorders. If taken for a long time, severe cases may result in amenorrhea. This can affect ovulation, thereby impacting fertility.
