What are the chances of getting pregnant while taking birth control pills?

Contraceptive pills refer to emergency contraceptive measures taken to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse. For convenience, many people take contraceptive pills. However, some people still get pregnant after taking birth control pills, many of which may be due to incorrect taking methods.

But it should be noted that the success rate of any contraceptive measure is not 100%. Among them, failure to take medication as prescribed: such as missing short-acting contraceptives or having unprotected sex again after taking emergency contraceptives, is the main cause of contraceptive failure; secondly, improper storage of contraceptives resulting in drug ineffectiveness, absorption disorders due to gastrointestinal reasons, or certain medications taken at the same time interfering with the efficacy of contraceptives are also causes of contraceptive failure.

Contraceptive pills are not a panacea. Even if they have a 99% success rate, you must be mentally prepared for the 1% possibility of failure.

To continue the pregnancy, some tests must be done

As we all know, artificial abortion causes considerable harm to women's bodies. Therefore, regarding the issue of whether pregnancy must be terminated after contraceptive failure, both couples must go to a regular hospital for consultation and refer to the reasonable suggestions made by experienced doctors based on the specific situation to minimize the risks.

If you choose to continue the pregnancy, pregnancy monitoring should be strengthened. Generally speaking, congenital defects can be detected early through screening and the birth of children with congenital defects can be prevented. The specific contents are: In the early pregnancy, it is recommended to have a blood test for stage I Down syndrome screening at 7 to 13 weeks of pregnancy, and to do NT at 11 to 13 weeks of pregnancy to assess the risk of chromosomal abnormalities; due to a history of exposure to adverse drugs, it is recommended to perform amniocentesis at 18 to 24 weeks of pregnancy, draw amniotic fluid for fetal cell culture, and perform fetal chromosome karyotype analysis to understand whether there are any chromosomal abnormalities; prenatal diagnostic ultrasound is required around 20 to 24 weeks of pregnancy to observe the fetal structure and understand whether there are any developmental abnormalities.
