Will you get pregnant if you have sex one week after taking birth control pills?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Emergency contraception pills are effective only if taken within 72 hours after sexual intercourse, with an efficacy rate of approximately 95%. They are only effective for the last sexual encounter and do not work for subsequent sexual activities. In fact, in general, practicing any form of contraception can have certain risks for women. Therefore, patients should pay attention to nursing and health care. Contraceptive users should take care of themselves, such as maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
