Do you still need to take emergency contraception?

Patient's question:

Hello, I had an abortion and my period came the first day after that, and we had sex. I have been taking Esmya since the abortion. However, the day we had sex was one of the seven days in the middle when you are supposed to take a break. Do I still need to take emergency contraception?

Doctor's answer:

After one month post-abortion, if you have sexual intercourse without contraception, it is possible to become pregnant. It is recommended to take a first-morning urine sample for an early pregnancy test. If the result is positive, it means you are pregnant. Wishing you good health.
