Patient's question:
What should I do if I get pregnant? The harm is relatively small. When is it most effective to take birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
Hello, emergency contraception has a very strong time limit. It should be taken within 72 hours after contraceptive failure or unprotected intercourse. The earlier it is taken, the better the effect in preventing unintended pregnancy. As long as contraception is not used, there is a possibility of pregnancy. It is recommended to use an early pregnancy test kit after a 7-day delay in the menstrual cycle. Additionally, two weeks after sexual intercourse, blood HCG tests can be used to confirm whether pregnancy has occurred.
