Will taking emergency contraception immediately after intercourse cause pregnancy?

Patient's question:

When a man ejaculates, if the woman does not reach orgasm, can she get pregnant?? First question supplement: If emergency contraception is taken immediately after the act, what is the chance of getting pregnant??

Doctor's answer:

Emergency contraception pills only have a contraceptive effect on sexual activity before taking the medication and do not provide contraception for sexual activity afterward. However, taking multiple doses of emergency contraception pills in a short period can lead to irregular menstruation, ectopic pregnancy, and contraceptive failure. It is recommended to avoid taking contraceptive pills as much as possible in the future, with no more than three doses per year. The side effects of contraceptive pills include nausea, gastrointestinal discomfort, headaches, breast tenderness, slight weight gain, nervousness, low mood, missed periods, and the tendency to develop brown spots and acne on the skin. As a form of contraception, long-term use of contraceptive pills can lead to abnormal ovarian function, ovulation disorders, and ultimately infertility.
