Why can I still get pregnant after taking emergency contraceptive pills?

Taking emergency contraceptive pills can indeed achieve a more significant causal effect, but the contraceptive effect of emergency contraceptive pills is not 100%, and it is possible to get pregnant after taking emergency contraceptive pills. At the same time, when taking emergency contraceptive pills, you also need to master the correct method of taking them, otherwise the efficacy of the emergency contraceptive pills will be lost. The following article specifically explains why you can still get pregnant after taking emergency contraceptive pills.

But in fact, in outpatient clinics we often encounter more people who fail to become pregnant after using emergency contraceptives regularly. Why is this? It means that there must be some reason during the use process that leads to an increase in the failure rate, that is, the failure rate of use. Someone said that I took the emergency contraceptive pill strictly according to the instructions within 72 hours after unprotected intercourse, so why did I still get pregnant?

The original function of emergency contraceptive pills is to postpone or prevent ovulation, causing sperm to miss the optimal waiting period and die naturally. Here comes the problem. If ovulation is postponed for 5 or 7 days, and you have sex again at this time, if my dear boys and girls think that you have used emergency contraceptive pills and you don't need to take any more contraceptive measures, then you are making a serious mistake, and the safe period becomes the most unsafe period.

Therefore, the correct use of emergency contraceptive pills is not only to use it once a month, but also to avoid unprotected sex before the next normal menstruation. To put it simply, after using the emergency contraceptive pill once, you must use a condom every time you have sexual intercourse before your next period.

Note: The inhibitory effect of emergency contraceptive pills on ovulation will directly manifest as delayed menstruation or spotting, so we urge everyone not to use emergency contraceptive pills frequently. Because most people who use emergency contraceptive pills are adolescent girls who have to deal with menstruation for twenty to thirty years and face fertility issues. Therefore, long-term contraceptive methods should be more accepted by everyone, including oral contraceptives, contraceptive rings, contraceptive injections, subcutaneous implants, etc.
