Patient's question:
I had sex with my girlfriend on the last night of her ovulation period and took emergency contraception. The pill was taken in two doses, but she forgot to take the second dose and only remembered to take it three days later. Will she get pregnant? Please answer as soon as possible. Thank you! If she does get pregnant, what is the best and safest method for an abortion in the shortest amount of time?Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception pills, when taken as prescribed, are up to 99% effective in preventing pregnancy, but they do have certain side effects on the body. They can disrupt the endocrine system in some women, making it easier for them to experience irregular periods. Here, no one can be certain if you are pregnant. Currently, no contraceptive method is 100% effective. Check if you have any pregnancy symptoms, such as breast enlargement, darkening of the areola, or frequent urination. However, having these symptoms does not necessarily mean you are pregnant. To get a definitive result, you can use a pregnancy test kit to test your urine.
