Patient's question:
On the third day of cohabitation, I took birth control pills. A month later, I found out I was pregnant. Can this affect the child? Will there be any deformities? A month later, I went to the hospital for an ultrasound. Can it detect any problems?Doctor's answer:
The hormone content in birth control pills is relatively high, which may have certain teratogenic effects. If pregnancy occurs while taking them, it could affect the baby. It is recommended to wait for three to four months after stopping the medication before trying to conceive. Generally, pregnancy conceived after taking emergency contraception pills may lead to fetal malformations. If you plan to have a child, it is advisable to undergo prenatal screening and detailed fetal anomaly checks. In your case, it is best to undergo prenatal examinations and regularly monitor the fetal growth and development.
