I took emergency contraceptive pills and got pregnant again

Regular sex can not only improve the relationship between husband and wife, but also benefit physical health. Some couples do not want to have children too early, so they let women take emergency contraceptive pills after sex. However, this contraceptive can only play a contraceptive effect if taken at the prescribed time, otherwise pregnancy may occur. So what happens if you get pregnant after taking emergency contraceptive pills?

First, what happens if you get pregnant again after taking emergency contraceptive pills? First of all, let us popularize the emergency contraceptive pills. It refers to a contraceptive method used to prevent pregnancy within a period of time after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. Drug contraception is the most commonly used method. Female friends can consider taking emergency contraceptive drugs if they suffer accidental injuries or have unprotected sex for other reasons, or if contraception fails, such as condom breakage, slippage, or incorrect calculation of the safe period. The drugs are effective within 72 hours after intercourse. If you have sex again while taking the drugs, the time must be recalculated. Sometimes an accident really happens. It should be used within 72-120 hours after sexual intercourse. The earlier it is taken, the better the effect. The failure rate is often higher if it is taken more than 72 hours. It was also pointed out that the contraceptive rate of emergency contraceptive pills is not 100%.

Second, the success rate of birth control pills is 98%, but you still have a 2% chance of getting pregnant. What should you do then? At present, the widely used short-acting combination oral contraceptives will not cause teratogenic effects during pregnancy or in a short period after stopping the medication. Compared with short-acting combination oral contraceptives, emergency contraceptives like Yuting only contain progestin, each tablet has a low dose, is excreted quickly, and only 2 tablets are needed. Therefore, it is safer and there is no need to worry about the impact on the fetus, let alone artificial abortion.

Under normal circumstances, emergency contraceptives are effective within 72 hours after taking them. Some married women of childbearing age believe that since there are emergency contraceptive measures, it doesn't matter if they don't take contraceptive measures on a regular basis. Anyway, if it fails, oral emergency contraceptives will be all right. This is a misunderstanding. This is because the emergency oral contraceptive mifepristone contains a larger amount of hormones than ordinary short-acting oral contraceptives, and frequent use may pose a potential risk of cancer.
