Will you get pregnant if you have sex after taking emergency contraception?

Patient's question:

Medical Description: My period just ended. Yesterday, I had sex with my boyfriend five times in total. At night, I took one dose of "Jiting Emergency Contraceptive Pill." Then tonight, I had sex with my boyfriend again. Will I get pregnant like this? The emergency contraceptive pill says it's effective for 72 hours. Is it supposed to be taken before or after intercourse??
History of Treatment and Effects: No treatment history at all...
What kind of help do you need: Please help me figure out what to do. Should I take a pregnancy test?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your situation, emergency contraception usually has contraceptive effects within one month after consumption. Since emergency contraception pills are a one-time dose, they can cause significant damage to the ovaries, so there's no need to worry too much. Please rest well.
To avoid an unintended pregnancy, it's best to take proper protective measures before sexual intercourse, such as using a condom. For future sexual activity, you should still take corresponding contraceptive measures. I recommend you take emergency contraception pills to prevent any accidents. Rest more, try to use condoms for contraception in the future, and pay attention to nutrition. Maintain a positive mood as well.
