Patient's question:
Medical Description: On the 9th was my wife's dangerous period, and we had intercourse with a condom without any issues. There were a few instances where I felt the urge to ejaculate but stopped, and then after changing positions, I moved a few times and found the condom had slipped out along with my genital, but the condom was still on the head of my penis, not fully but only covering one-third. I did not reach orgasm or ejaculate, but I was worried that some sperm might have been released during this process, so I immediately bought 2 tablets of Jinxiao levonorgestrel tablets, which I took 2 hours after intercourse. I was fasting before taking the first tablet, but right after taking it, my wife ate a few slices of watermelon. The second tablet was taken 12 hours later, and I was fasting for 2 hours before and after taking it. Please let me know if pregnancy is still possible? Does eating a few slices of watermelon affect the effectiveness of the medication? InstructionsDoctor's answer:
Based on your description, it should not be pregnancy. Emergency contraception pills are effective if taken within 72 hours after intercourse. If there is no vomiting, the emergency contraception pill can take effect normally, preventing pregnancy, regardless of whether it is in the safe period or not.Recommendation: It is recommended to adopt safe and effective contraception methods in daily life, such as condoms or short-term birth control pills. Emergency contraception pills should not be used frequently. Taking emergency contraception pills may cause menstrual irregularities, such as early or delayed periods, increased or decreased menstrual flow, irregular cycles, and irregular bleeding. It may even alter the ovulation period, potentially leading to infertility. Generally, emergency contraception pills should not be taken more than three times a year or more than once a month.
