Patient's question:
I had an abortion without anesthesia on November 30th. Two days later, I had occasional formal sexual intercourse with my boyfriend (without penetration, with ejaculation outside the body, I'm not sure if it counts as sexual intercourse). Until December 25th, we had intercourse, but it was still with ejaculation outside the body. Is the chance of pregnancy high? Is it necessary to take birth control pills? Can I take emergency contraception 25 days after an abortion without anesthesia? Please answer quickly, thank you. I'm so scared!!First follow-up question: I took emergency contraception about 1.5 days after intercourse. It's been 33 days since the abortion, and my period hasn't come yet. I've had two tests.

Doctor's answer:
Some studies suggest that the failure rate of withdrawal method is approximately 15% to 28% when the correct usage method is not emphasized. The chances of pregnancy are relatively low, and it is recommended to use early pregnancy test strips or pregnancy tests when necessary.
