Can you get pregnant if you take birth control pills 48 hours after ovulation?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

You can only have intercourse during ovulation, but you took emergency contraception afterward. It is generally effective if taken within 72 hours, so the possibility of pregnancy is unlikely. I suggest you don't worry too much, as the chance of pregnancy is low. In the future, be mindful of sexual activity and take contraceptive measures. Also, maintain good hygiene in the perineal area to prevent gynecological inflammation.
