Can you get pregnant after taking emergency contraception?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Can I still get pregnant after taking emergency contraception?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is generally unlikely to get pregnant. Emergency contraception pills are a type of hormone medication, and taking too many of them can have significant side effects. The adverse reactions may include symptoms similar to early pregnancy, vaginal bleeding, reduced menstrual flow or amenorrhea, endocrine disorders, weight gain, facial hyperpigmentation, infertility, or gastrointestinal discomfort, headaches, weight gain, nervousness, low mood, skin spots and acne, etc. Emergency contraception pills should not be used more than three times within a year, and only once per month.
