Did you have sex on both days and then take the birth control pill? Is it effective?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant? The harm is relatively small. Is it effective to have sex on two consecutive days and then take birth control pills?

Doctor's answer:

In this case, under normal circumstances, emergency contraception pills are effective within 72 hours after intercourse. The earlier you take them, the better. If it's within two days, it's still effective, so there's no need to worry too much. Hello, emergency contraception pills only provide contraception for sexual activity before taking the medication and have no effect on sexual activity after taking them. However, taking emergency contraception pills multiple times in a short period can lead to menstrual disorders, ectopic pregnancy, and contraceptive failure, among other issues.
